Editorial Reviews
Included in Mojo's Best Underground Albums of 2001.
Mojo (01/01/2002)
...I-Sound's soft-focus grit adds depth and shadow to To Rococo's precise synthesis - a little asphalt here and there, scattered on the silicon...
CMJ (05/14/2001)
7 out of 10 - ...There remains an easy organic warmth to this album....proving why these kings of Teutonic understatement are one of the biggest noises in quiet music.
NME (05/05/2001)
...This is sonic ice sculpture with a very warm heart...
Mojo (06/01/2001)
4 out of 5 - ...I-Sound shows the group how to add a bit of swagger...helping loosen up the trio...
Alternative Press (06/01/2001)
...A departure....a journey back to the group's younger selves. 80s music isn't such so much ghost here as a familiar...
The Wire (05/01/2001)
4 out of 5 - ...Their best album to date. It's pristine, polished and ever-so-modern...
Muzik (05/01/2001)
4 stars out of 5 - ...If you only buy one album this year by palindromic Germans residing in the hinterland between post-rock and avant-electronica, er, make it this one.
