This is a work of fine sound design, a highly listenable (unusually so for work of this genre) and understandable album, Lofi Lazer produce drone and soundscape orientated work within a sonic landscape equivalent to a cardboard box. Draped in minute detailing of white noise and 'verb, the transient nature of all these works seem almost classically minimal, almost Reich-esque in design although the tape loop and orchestra have been replaced by delay and effects. Perhaps a little self indulgent at times, this is still a highly commendable work purely for its listenable nature, in an area which all too often fails to interest and draw the listener back.

From the name that some people like to use for this style - Noise World Electrojazz, I agree mainly with "Noise" part. Ok, it has some Jazz elements, but I don't think it's enough to be called Jazz, you know. And why World?

Anyway, not like 99% of another Jamendo "industrial-ambient-noise" albums that usually arouse contempt mixed with pity to their talentless, the works of Lo Fi Lazer have something enthralling and fascinating in them. There's always suspense for the next move, and it never leaves you disappointed.
