As a whole, the album is energetic, frenetic, chaotic, and somewhat punk. Featuring compositions both acoustic and electronic, recorded with an ample dose of “creative anger,” the tracks are a lot of fun listening to and really pull a listener in.

Alessandro Ragazzo :: La deviazione del profilo (Stochastic Resonance)
The combination of noise bursts, crackles akin to a detuned radio, a return to field recordings, reverberant knob-twiddling, and terrifying noise washes, creates a powerful soundtrack that evokes a theme of nature versus industry.
Richard Chartier :: On Leaving (Touch)
On Leaving contains a set of vintage variances, soothing drone tracks that are in ways abstract yet deceptively organic in nature. Minimal composition together with low pitches and recursive sets of sound contribute to this soothing effect.
Steve Hadfield :: Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer 0-1 – The Game of the Century (1956), Generative Chess Music (Disintegration State)
Overall, Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer is a great release and very worth listening to. It is smart, entrancing, transcendent, glitchy, and reminds me more than a little bit of the great works of Brian Eno.
Boris Brejcha :: “Terminal Zero” & “Atlantis” — Level One (Fckng Serious)
Renowned German producer and DJ Boris Brejcha, better known as the Joker, allowed us to listen to two teases off their upcoming album, Level One—both are pummeling techno tracks, so I have faith that the full album will be just as serious.
bvdub | Brock Van Wey :: Leaving (Self Released)
Like Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott, bvdub’s Leaving alludes to the end of a person’s life. The music uses a dark-ambient approach to bring the listener to this point in the present.
