Gary Rees A perfect fit of solid progressions and relatable melodies. Assertive bass lines accompany well-crafted drum loops. There's a plethora of impressively designed synth sounds. A distinctive distorty organ peeks through in a nod to a more traditional sound. Speaking parts punctuate, or define, several tracks, emerging through a variety of FX from another world, finely selected accompaniments to the musical story that unfolds from start to finish. Favorite track: That's The Light.

Hydro Fyter Solid album from beginning to end. I love the flow!! There is a lot of movement and variety. I'm really diggin' the chill groove of "Spirits Of The Brush" and the slammin' beat on "The Crown". "That's The Light" has the dark evolution I really like though. Favorite track: Perception Is A Needle.

Tom Herdman Like the album cover, music from a gravity absent world. Feel your mind float away. Favorite track: Perception Is A Needle.

SURVEY CHANNEL (Fan) A beautifully dense combination of modular and non-modular synthesis. It draws me in with each listen with its deft balance. It is melodic, rhythmic, contemplative, and deeply moving as an album. I urge everyone to dig into this album and support an artist that is not only serious, but inventive with his craft. Favorite track: Perception Is A Needle.

Bendu Los Angeles, California

Bendu is a habitual daydreamer who has been decorating time with electricity since he was a teenager and has been a practitioner of modular electronic folk since 2009. He has given up on trying to fit into a genre and is instead focusing on his own voice. He is either way ahead or quite behind the times. Possibly both. ... more
