Excerpt: "German-based technician Markus  Mehr does allow his compositions to move, but ever so slightly –  incorporating deep, monolithic washes of gurgling synthesizer that move  across the listener like tectonic plates... Like a lot of ambient artists, Markus Mehr is at his best when he’s  his most spacey.... They’re ‘big’ compositions, the sheer  scale of the sonic work is rather awe inspiring, but they never sound  antagonistic or uncomfortable... it sounds like  the ebb and flow of space itself – individual snippets of a grand,  repeating, organic process that keeps the universe in balance. You’ll  never hear anything that tangibly relates machinery or human  intervention; this is an album that sounds as old and neutral as the  cosmos itself... Markus Mehr has created a bold,  stouthearted work that deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as  other current ambient champions like Emeralds or Oneohtrix Point Never."
