"this somatic responses album is a continuation of ideas presented in
recent three-four releases by healey brothers. the emphasize
is not on perfectly isolated, heavy percussion and instantly
appealing strings, instead the listened is treated with complex,
heavily layered mass where percussion is not nearly as prominent,
overlaid with tweaked frequencies, small noises and muddied string
lines. come to think of it, we have more and more percussion layers
than ever before, and at times it even adopts idm qualities,
assuming non-linear, broken patterns, twisting and swirling around,
occasionally fading out into vibrating static."-seven e-zine
(Integral Components Compilation )
The comp features the best of modern IDM and almost all of the tracks
are exclusive to this compilation.
The disc showcases tracks from Proem, Dryft, Neutral, Somatic
Responses, Lusine ICL, Codec,
Pandorabox, Xyn, Neutronic, ML, Phluidbox, Andrew Duke and Syndrone.
"Component is still a pretty wee label, but with releases of this
strength coming forward there is absolutely no question that it
will become a -major- force in this quietly growing sub-genre of
electronic music. Integral Components is a perfect beginners
introduction into what is called 'Intelligent Dance Music', but is
strong enough to satiate long-time fans of quirky electronic
music. I highly recommend this cd, not many compilations have so much
to offer"-starvox.com
"The compilation is focused on a style, but offers only excellent
material. With boundaries that are relatively well defined, this
sampler hits his target with a lot of accuracy and, if you are into
innovative and melodic eletronica (or if you like the direction
Ant Zen is trying to take, with Neutral, Lusine ICL
and Starfish Pool) you'd be a fool to miss this."-recycleyourears.com
