    Big, warm music that doesn't shout loud, yet makes itself heard. [Apr 2017, p.97]

    Although it’s uniformly beautiful, the rest of the album doesn’t leave nearly as deep an impression, with McIlwain occasionally indulging more experimental tangents (the pastoral ambient sketch of “Chatter,” the staticky drone of “Tropopause”) but mostly never pushing past his usual mode of lush, lightly skipping intelligent dance music.

    The album then settles into a solid groove of high end electro pop with just enough dust to keep it grounded. [Apr 2017, p.62]

    With Sensorimotor, Lusine takes another evolutionary step forward, seeming strangely natural in his skin of manipulation.

    Sensorimotor is an exercise in doing many things well but nothing truly great. If McIlwain focuses his efforts, he could create one of the great electronic records of the year. This, however, is not it.

    Sensorimotor as a whole isn't as strong as Lusine's previous efforts for Ghostly International.

This album too, while not taking any huge risks, displays that desire to create while balancing the two worlds of risk and reward through instinct and musical knowledge. I think Lusine does a great job at capturing this sporadic, seemingly random behavior that inspired the creation of this album. The album flows well, there are some amazingly beautiful moments, and the songs carry you into the sky for a ride you'll never want to come down from.… Full Review »
