REVIEWS.
"[...] Next up is “Civilization”, which emerges from looped and rather demented birdsong and collapses some 20 minutes later in science-fiction bleeps and pulsations. Just like the real thing. Finally, we have “In The Forest”, nine short tracks detailing an arboreal encounter with the Nine Muses of Greek mythology, in their industrial-Gothic Tank Girl aspect. It shows a certain sense of humour to have a track called “Terpsichore” that is so resolutely undanceable.
On the whole, this meets nearly all of my subjective standards of excellence, and I hope it meets yours too."
Ian Sherred for The Sound Projector
-------------------------------------------------
"[...] Moody Alien does a great job of carefully manipulating his sounds, weaving in bits of random static, disembodied voices, ethereal and ghost-like… he is a subtle sonic manipulator who is able to change the mood or vibe by altering the way his sounds unfold, float and drift from space to space. [...] I am impressed with the way he creates assorted alien worlds for us to inhabit for different lengths of time. [...]"
Bruce Lee Gallanter for Downtown Music Gallery
-------------------------------------------------
"[...] These are nine sound pieces for special moods created largely from field recordings, taken by Alien, and sounds from free software databases. The author experiments with form here, works densely with long tones or chords."
