    I can't begin to describe what this album means to me. Especially being from the UK, it brings back some childhood memories, Lapalux really did a good job here, and I'm really looking forward to his future work. My favourite song is Rotted Arp because it has an incredible build up and reaches a fantastic climax.

    Just heard this after Amnioverse, and I have to say, it is perplexing how good of a producer Lapalux is. This album is amazing

    Lapalux delivers, with this masterpiece, through the excellent use of female vocals, alongside the expensive sounding production. For fans, it may be hard to understand at first, but after a few listens, songs like 4EVA, and Essex is Burning will give euphoric emotions.

    Opener “Reverance” gives us a great deal--tremolo string flourishes and swirling synthesizers, filter gates as grand as castle keeps that slowly open up to reveal lush vegetation within--but of percussion it gives us none. From there on, the album offers up interplanetary R&B. [Jul 2017, p.62]

    There is a really great album rattling around in here and Howard's invention and ambition should be celebrated as such, it's just not quite at the level it could be.

    Although at times the sound experiments can feel too inward-looking, Howard balances the darkness and lightness of his palette with relative ease, producing a record of imaginative depth and danceable surface.
