"WOW!! This CD is intoxicatingly ambient and ethereal. These tracks will C O M S U M E you. Its the kind of music that you can think to or drive and listen to. Undoubtedly you can definitely fall asleep to it. BUT be careful driving while listening because you will be C O N S U M E D. I felt like I was LOST IN SPACE while listening to Loscil. Just let it take control. This music is so other worldly its scary. So, if DEEP, DARK, UNDERGROUND ambient music is your style, this CD is a MUST HAVE. HURRY UP AND BUY!!!"

Triple Point is good, very good.

"While the previous reviewer may be a bit excessively enthusiastic about Loscil's Triple Point I would have to say that I agree that it is an excellent album. Great ethereality, though not as dark as the previous review implies. It's one of those rare albums that simultaneously grabs you immediately and then continues to grows on you, or at least it did for me. This is avant-garde loft music that still holds up years after it was first released. Btw, if you like Scott Morgan's Loscil and are looking for other similar music on the Kranky label, I'd recommend taking a look at Pan-American too."

Ruthless seduction

"How such beauty can emerge from the cold and lifeless resistors, transistors and pathways of computerized noisemakers is a mystery. The aching strains and looping oscillations are threadbare, yet their emotive content is so full as to be scarcely containable.



The gamelan-like drones tread a threshold that is extended and tested yet never crossed; a perpetual sense of psycho-acoustic claustrophobia that threatens to burst, but never does.



This is deceptively simple music. It would be a catastrophe to dismiss Loscil's artistry and craft as in any way a part of the forgettable electronica-industrial-complex that has come to dominate the meaning of "music by electricity".



In many ways this reveals a special kinship with Aphex Twin's monolithic "Selected Ambient Works, Volume II", though perhaps in more recognizable terms. I can think of no other worthy comparisons."
