    I listened to this album before I went to bed last night and was completely relaxed. I was moved by the chorus, the ambiance, and the timeless spirit of the music. I highly recommend listening to 'Purpose (Is no Country)' and 'Power Colour Spirit Animal'. You will hear such an intricate and enlightening combination of sounds.

    If Craig can manage to maintain his unique delicacy of sound, while pushing his melodic capabilities, he could achieve something special. Yet, if he allows pop elements to take over, instead of remaining as hints and references, he risks becoming simply another producer penning groovy, soulless hits for electro-pop scenesters. In order to remain distinctive, Craig will need to keep the balance he’s struck here firmly in mind.

    On Centres, the songs have a lyrical content that makes their meaning more discernible. [Aug 2016, p.48]

    For all its listenability, Centres is still wildly inventive. [No. 133, p.55]
