'State of Health' is a tasty album. The melodies are strong, dipped in delicious retro harmonics.

'Philosophies' is a strong album, full of infectious grooves and captivating vocal harmonies.

'Little Boat' is a good album. Mathur’s voice is at its best when darkly inflected with down and dirty tones.

'Green' delivers eloquent lyrics, along with generous doses of subliminal sonic flashes, making it one of the better folk-pop albums I’ve heard in quite some time.

Crushed Out's sound is eccentrically retro yet gorgeously contagious, blending the heady sounds of the '50s and '60s with modern sonic aromas.

'Revisited' is betwixt and between, a mish-mash of good tunes with mediocre tunes. The melodies would be better served with reduced flamboyance and grandiosity, especially the vocal harmonies, which too often reach levels of overcompensation.

'120' is “gorgeously delicious.” Daniel Biro’s musical wizardry amalgamates complex layers of sonic tessellations and gravity-defying textures into pure elegance. This is ambient music as it should be - immanent and transcendent, yet revelatory. It’s simply sublime.

'Resettlement' delivers an amalgamation of prog-rock, alt-rock, gospel exuberance, dynamic stasis, and frictional harmonics into innovative, matchless music - like something out of a futuristic sonic factory, where wild residual energy merges with the digital.

'Hidden Dimensions' defines the analogous aesthetic doctrine that says the tighter the discipline of an art form, the more subjective the criteria of taste. In other words, if you’re into experimental, state-of-the-art sonic manipulation, then you will enjoy this album.

'Wonder Lust' is superb! The melodies are fresh and potently layered, while the rhythms sway with compelling dynamism. Tittel’s voice provides an easy listening experience, as well as just the right amount of persuasive passion.
