Press reviews

Disque magnifique.
Octopus, May 2008

Some beautiful segments that inspire real moments of wonder.
Cyclic Defrost, April 2008

The effect is invariably impressive: all eight pieces proving to be hypnotizing surreal ambient meditations of the utmost quality. [Translated from German]
Quiet Noise, April 2008

Machida actually emerges with something that's not only worth hearing, but is also exceptionally compelling and beautiful.
The Sound Projector, March 2008

"Hypernatural #3" is a sentimental ending to the series, many of its pieces coming across as yearning meditations on things beyond our control.
Tokafi, March 2008

Un concentré d'intelligence et de raffinement.
Tapage Nocturne, February 2008

On a scale to ten, I'd say a good solid 7.
Vital Weekly, February 2008
