Field Lines Cartographer :: Portable Reality Generator (DiN)
The modular maven channels something of an early TD sound-feel via post-Kosmische textures, motifs, and rhythms; new projections in the head cinema, strangely familiar, yet otherworldly.
Analytica :: Strategy of Tension (Ice Machine)
Their words pull no punches, they are fired with conviction and intent. Softening this directness is the composition of their songs, the rich instrumentation smoothing corners without diluting the message. An accomplished album from a political and polyphonic partnership.
An interview with Don Slepian from The Radio Phonics Laboratory

KMRU :: Natur (Touch)
The listener is transported in a rolling ambient vastness connected to natural elements and morphed field recordings, for a breathing, lively and emotional embrace which progressively reaches a mesmerizing climax.

Druid is a cinematic and audiovisual experience for the senses; transporting us through multiple layers of exploratory sound patterns, textures, and shifting structures while deftly blending roughened sceneries with explosive clarity.
Speedy J :: Ginger (Remaster/Reissue) (Warp)
The ten tracks on offer have been meticulously remastered, breathing new life into the rich range of elements Paap originally employed. This dusting down accentuates the influence of Detroit on the record.
