"Opening with the beautiful 10-minute track "New Animals from the Air," Eluvium shows himself as a master of melodic loops. Tiny crackles that evoke Tim Hecker pepper the track, while his love of melody shines throughout. On "Calm of the Cast-Light Cloud," Eluvium strips away the melodies and focuses on his other strength... drone. The white noise adds layers smothering a faint sound of strings and horns. The 16-minute "Taken" is most akin to Brian Eno's '80s ambient works, building synths upon synths to culminate in a wash of noise. "We say goodbye to Ourselves" and the finale "One" follow a similar structure heard throughout Talk Amongst the Trees. Eluvium's strengths and ultimately his offering to the genre is his mastery of melodies and loops. On this album, he shines throughout. 4.5/5"
