"The aptly titled second album from label head if.then.else. He was
forced to put his own music and the operation of the label on hold
while serving a six month sentence for marijuana possession. You
can now readjust your image of the typical 'experimental'
knob-twiddler firing off emails to the idm list from the confines
of mom's house in suburbia. Suge Knight meets the Jedi Knights or
Shyne sitting down with Richard Devine is probably stretching the
point, but the bottom line is that Pause was conceived at a
critical juncture for the artist. Not only was he facing his first
incarceration, but also experiencing his longest stretch without
his bong in quite some time; and yet, a sense of calm permeates
these occasionally brooding soundscapes. We can recognize the warm
washed out tones of his first full length Realizations, but a
heightened feeling of expansiveness may be a result of his recent
interest in the work of Pole. Other possible points of reference
might be Bola, Funkstorung, and ambient-era Aphex. Extended bouts
of jonesing may also play into the situation to some extent."
