Alternative Press“Atmospheric pieces from the Belgian composer. At times, sparse, pretty piano lines float over shimmering walls of electronics, evoking a melancholic yet romantic feeling. At other moments, cyclical melodies interweave with each other in a slowly moving stream of sound which stirs the imagination. The talented vidnaObmana continues to evolve and refine his music, now draping his spacey aural atmospheres with more defined melodies.” -Bryan Reesman
