Some of Loscil's best work. Here he uses expansive orchestral samples to great effect, but it still has that inscrutable attention to detail that he's deservedly known for.
Loscil's music humbly hides the complexity of its composition, within its subtle detail, beckoning the listener to lean into the speaker and become immersed. Despite that, it is not disruptive in the background. JackG
Right away (well, by the three minute mark, at least) you'll notice an almost menacing intensity not usually present on a loscil album. Track two picks up the pace. Monument Builders feels like an outlier in loscil's catalogue, but still built on the same incredible level of quality and execution, it also fits perfectly within it. rvss.eel
Of loscil's catalogue, I've listened to this album the most. It is relatively melodic and bubbly, but this is only relative to a somber sound in other works. A soft and very abstracted house music: stretched and free of any thumping beat. It's good. Alex Hall
Another fine set of ambient soundscapes by Loscil. As others have already noted, "Equivalent 3" and "Equivalent 8" are two of the highlights. Steve Davis
