In the accompanying press release, realizations--the debut
full-length from if.then.else following on a pair of tracks
contributed to the excellent Emanated compilation--is given such
frames of reference as Boards of Canada and Bola. While these
comparisons (as well as the ubiquitous Autechre) are fair to a
point, they fail to suggest the atmosphere of moodiness and
melancholy that is prevalent through much of the album. With
fittingly introspective titles such as "Induced States", "What If"
and "Until", the nine tracks feature layers of dark electronic
washes, fragile and crackling rhythms, ambient percussion, and
fractured melodies, all falling together to form some first class
electronic listening music. --feedbackmonitor.com
