Press Reviews archives vol 1 - "drippingly fantastic ","the same sort of brilliant sensibility that is heard in Boards of Canada". DISCORDER MAGAZINE--- themes from a common dream - "a rich body mover "," an absolutely gorgeous piece of moody trance- bring on the album!" EXCLAIM MAGAZINE --- the blue tape " subtly layered changes that show a producer who understands the mixing needs of a d.j. as well as the listener"," a groove that would satisfy any early morning dance floor", " a constant flux of sound that nods toward both the west coast dub school and east coast production values of techno.ca's "Blue" release."
