Perceptual Defence's "Time Lines" review on Synth&Sequences

Sylvain Lupari just put online on Synth&Sequences his review of Perceptual Defence's double album Time Lines, which I contributed the track Cosmic Time on CD 2. Here it is.

"(...) Cosmic Time, with Pharamond, is more audacious. After a very ambiospherical intro which is knotted in sizzling synth waves and in singings of flute, the sequences run away in keen pulsations which eat up their shadows, creating a starving and undisciplined structure of rhythm which finally converges into a beautiful Berlin School which is too short. (...)"

"(...) There are some very beautiful moments in this album which is a real demystification of the Arpeggiator. (...)"

Orbis Tertius review on EMpulsiv.de

Yesterday, well known musician Stefan Erbe, editor of EMpulsiv.de, one of the most comprehensive website dedicated to traditional electronic music, finally published his own review of Orbis Tertius. Here it is.

" (...) Sein faible für die traditionelle Berliner Schule, durchzieht das gesamte Album und manifestiert sich in der intensiven Anwendung von ausgeprägten Sequenzer-Elementen, die vielfach hübsch in Szene gesetzt werden und native Veränderungen erfahren. (...)"
