This is one of those rare albums that makes you wonder how you ever got by without it.
-
From Here We Go Sublime may not be an evolution for Willner, but it’s a singular distillation of his talents into one album. Mixing gauzy shoegaze, slippery ambient loops, and two-cheeks-on-the-floor bass drum bounce, the Field offers an idyllic work of startling novelty, and perhaps ‘techno’’s most widely appreciable offering in years.
-
From Here We Go Sublime is fantastic all around, and it’s all the more effective for its restraint.
-
It focuses on the epic qualities of Ride and MBV, combined with Wilner’s cosmic pop chops and his predilection for shuffly techno grooves.
-
If Willner doesn't hit at least some of your pleasure centers, well, forget your ears-- your nerve endings might actually be dead. Even three months in, it's a safe bet that From Here We Go Sublime will wind up 2007's most luxuriant record.
-
It’s fair to say if you don’t find anything worthwhile somewhere in this record, you probably just don’t enjoy electronic music.
-
It feels endless — in a good way.
-
If you like minimal electronic music at all, you must seek it out.
-
It may sound simple but it's devastatingly effective.
-
UncutMesmerising stuff. [Jun 2007, p.99]
-
An electronic album that is utterly original and not easily forgotten.
-
Wilner’s talent lies in revealing the abundance of music locked inside even the smallest fractions of extant recordings.
-
This is an album you could easily hate -- especially if you like things like change and development.
-
Track for track, From Here We Go Sublime is mired in some of the simplest beats in modern electronic music.
