"[This is a] varied and extremely well put together piece of electronic work. Taking cues from a vast range
of electronic styles, the overwhelming feel is one of contemporary minimalism. One minute you're admiring
sultry, static textures, the next you're nodding along to robotic funk rhythms with clicks, glitches and all
manner of clever manipulations. Couple that with some distinctly melodic moments and you've got a
classy piece of music. For fans of labels such as 12k and Raster-Noton there's much to admire here and
on the strength of this Platform could well go far. Highly recommended."
(Smallfish Records)
"....It does not take long to realise that Matt Atkins in his Platform guise is onto something big. Nine tracks
of electronic delight and it has to be said that they're all exceedingly well produced, and together they
stretch over big parts of the vast electronic music spectrum. Simply put it's excellent, minimal, glitch
infused high treble sounds through and through. The album comes recommended and the future of MRM
will be interesting to follow."

"This is an accomplished work of mostly downtempo electronics. The production has a real crispness to it.
The percussion/rhythms are minimal and have an ice cold synthetic techno machine feel but are warmed
up with sparse, soulful melodies injecting a human element. 'Dipole' is a top track with it's paranoid
claustrophobic machinations. An excellent piece of sound design. This really is high quality minimal
electronica extremely well executed. One for those that dig the clean Germanic Raster Noton sound or the
very pure machine sounds of Pan Sonic. The debut release for the Platform project. certainly a name to
look out for in 2007. This one's coming home with me...."

"Pliapa" - (track from Platform CD) "Matthew Atkins, as Platform, has provided us with a superb piece of
experimental electronica here that never become incoherent or obtuse. Rhythmically it's most similar to
erly 12k or Raster-Noton and features glitch percussion and minimalist sounds with a subby old bassline. It
really comes into it's own when the melodies kick in halfway through. Lovely"

"Mindel" - (Track from Platform CD) "Once again Platform delivers a classy hit of minimalist electronica
with crisp sounds and rhythms and an element of funkiness to the mid-tempo rhythms. The melodies cut
through again, but this time they'r mor reduced and staccato, giving an overall icy feel to the track. Deep
and fresh." (www.musicrecommenders.com)
