Through multiple evolutions along decades, with a refined combination of harmonies, a deep sense of space, a phenomenology of time and bright sonic manipulations based on acoustic timbres, Japanese artists invite the listener to enlightened and intuitive inner promenades.

shuttle358 :: optimal.lp [reissue] (Keplar)
A quarter of a century on from optimal.lp’s release, then, its timelessness is still palpable, even enhanced, with the reissue’s addition of three tracks made while working on it, plus a new take on the closing “Tank” (digital only): in prepping the reissue, running one of the masters through a customized reverb unit, he began recording the outcome of this haptic past-inside-the-present dialog.
David Curington :: Composer REACTS / After These Messages (Difficult Art And Music)
We find it all confusing and compelling at the same time. A serious snapshot through our day-to-day lives and the mundane commercial messaging that unfortunately is part-and-parcel of corporate powerhouse greed taking over our devices.
Taylor Deupree :: Sti.ll (Nettwerk / 12k / Greyfade)
Sti.ll is overall smoother and more pleasant, which is really fitting for the intimate and subtle sentiment of the original LP, making it a re-listen that fans of the original should not miss out on.
Kenneth Kirschner :: Three Cellos (Greyfade)
The sonic language employed on this album benefits from an approach tempered in years of serious classical musical scholarship.
Lamasz and Grandbruit :: Suivant (élan vital)
A felicitous confluence of two distinct sound worlds/whorls in a zone notionally adumbrated by texture-mappers.
Sonmi451 :: The Eighteen Minute Gap (laaps)
The album admits a wide range of textures, field recordings morphed and treated with nuances and displayed with a massive sonic impact—immersing the listener in a vast river of emotions.
Taylor Deupree :: “Eev” (Nettwerk)
Shapes, patterns, and tonal sculptures are subtly morphed, immersing the listener in a warm and vaporous state of emotional quietness.
