Great record of intelligent and thoughtful electronic music. THE SOUND PROJECTOR, November 2008
Machida's deft weave of field recordings and treated electronic sounds makes for a beautiful relationship between 'reality' and artifice. THE WIRE, September 2008
Sounds acknowledged yet unfamiliar, an abnormal disorientation that's also among the best places to be lost in. TOUCHING EXTREMES, August 2008
D'une stupéfiante beauté sonore. RIFRAF, July/August 2008
Beau, tout simplement. ETHERREAL, July 2008
Absolutely gorgeous stuff! GAZ-ETA, July 2008
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
