“...some of the most expressive socially engaged music in recent memory — from any genre.”
“It is a refutation of literal meaning, an assault on sense. It evokes our time, the age of atomized digitized information, more potently than any piece of music I’ve heard, and in its volatile nonsensicality, it brings us the sound of a once-promising composer in the act of becoming a major one.”
