Tycho’s music is so refreshing in that he demonstrates that there can be electronic music without the rave world to encompass it

Uncut
Though beautifully produced, over 40 minutes these spacious, electronic soundscapes sometimes lack bite. Print edition only

Miserablists will find this album unbearably hard work, as Hansen is so adept at crafting beautiful, but ultimately one-dimensional soundscapes. However, this record undoubtedly has tonnes of appeal, and will satisfy Tycho’s familiars and fans no end

Over the eight songs here Hansen struggles to be engaging leaving an album that is pretty, stream-lined, and much too often dull
