"an eclectic mix of industrial sounds served up on a cinematic platter of steam, iron and steel." - Michael Inman

"I'm reminded of Hokusai's woodblock prints." - Hans Werksman, Here Comes The Flood weblog

"Seriously interesting and enjoyable music" - Slim Verhoef

"If you enjoy all things ambient and odd, this is just the stuff.." - John Hatch

"Shades of Fripp’s League of Gentlemen or Eno collabs. Also echoes of Cornelius. Lovely textural explorations, abstract but at the same time not unmusical, which is a delicate balancing act. Avant garde but also listenable. A delight." - Phil South

"Exquisite" - Steve Barber

"Really like this - beautiful" - Jeff Eacho

"Colin has woven a cinematic tapestry from some unusual sources. This lovely yet haunting set of ambient soundscapes lay on you like a velvet comforter, yet I don't feel safe. This is a beautifully crafted album, right up there with the great Fripp and Eno." - Jon du Bose

"Fantastic album!" - Wilfried Hanrath

"Robinson is an avid word-smith, and although he doesn't sing on this album the song titles itself tell the story, like the unfortunate character who is doomed to take a nasty spin in Falling Down The Stairs At Piccadilly Station. Or how about the baffling concept pictured in The Physical Movements Of The Characters Across Their Territory Spell Out The Letters Of A Secret Alphabet? Food for thought for both MI6 and amateur conspiracy theorists. Robinson's avant-garde is instantly recognisable, but never repetitive. A King Finding A Croissant Amusing is quintessentially English: baffling, amusing, and adamant to get the listener on the wrong foot: eighteen short pieces as a litmus test to find out if he is paying attention." - Hans Werksman, Here Comes The Flood weblog

"A wicked balance between the odd and the musical, my favourite interface. It's like Robert Fripp meets Belbury Poly via BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Lovely intriguing analogue synth soundscapes interspersed with little musical interludes. It takes you to a very interesting place. Would make great Tarkovskyesque sci-fi film music" - Phil South

"This album continues the zig-zag wandering through the labyrinthine synapses of Colin Robinson’s febrile imagination... this splendid excursion into a kind of toyland ambience where nothing is quite as it seems. we glide gently through a post-industrial landscape, long reclaimed by nature, and delighting in the absence of those pesky human beans... Colin has crafted a sonic delight!" - Roger Trenwith, The Progressive Aspect
