The following review by Marc Masters for Bandcamp Daily:

The discography of Colorado’s C. Reider is filled with all kinds of experiments. For their latest, they utilize the scales and systems of some iconic composers, including Terry Riley and Wendy Carlos, generating bubbling synth pieces from these frameworks. The resulting 11 pieces, lasting over an hour in total, are on the mellower end of Reider’s work, but that doesn’t mean the music isn’t constantly compelling. Each track achieves forward momentum quickly, and runs in loops and arcs that feel kaleidoscopic. Particularly fascinating are the songs that use Carlos’ Gamma scale: the distant, enigmatic “False Divine” and the pointillist starscape “Writing on the Wall.” During those peaks, Reider shows how the simplest forms can become musical constellations.
