    The sophomore album for electronic artists, especially experimental electronic artists, has been a waterloo. the field comes back stronger, with no sell out, faithful to his "roots" and goes a step further musically. simply put, better than the first album. if you like electronic tracks more than 10 min long - please step in - you will feel right at home.

  1. If open to it, the album can be even more enveloping than the debut. The added warmth and a little extra depth go a long way.
  2. The songs/pieces/tracks are too long. They take too long getting where they’re going. Everyone loses. But it’s a good record. Hang onto it.
  3. Like an electronic Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, Axel Willner’s music as the Field uses rhythm, repetition and unexpected melodies to make a captivating sound that can be too much for some listeners. But to fans of top-flight techno craftsmanship, it’s nothing less than spellbinding.
