"You cannot put your foot in the same river twice. Once ᴇʀᴏꜱɪᴏɴ ᴛʀᴀᴄᴇ begins, the listener is quick to draw comparison to previous Glyn Maier releases, as in ɪɴᴅᴇꜰɪɴɪᴛᴇ ʟᴀᴛᴛɪᴄᴇꜱ or the B-Side from the Jungle Gym release ʜʟɪɴᴄ. Instead, what happens is the truest descriptor of a “departure” in style and pacing. Going back into the deeper catalog of Maier’s work you would likely cross influences of dub techno in the clicking and delaying bass tones, with sharp field recording rustling and chirps that create a fecund listening ecosphere. This new album instead changes the pace to a glacial presentation, starting with a dark and sleek motif, generously pouring into rhythm and more subdued field recordings of the Appalachian wilderness. It almost seems like an album showcasing Maier’s ability to listen as much as it is his ability to produce. The finishing work with synth and string sections is a sublime reminder of his deft and capable craft in sound. We may not stand in the same water as before, but the river has the same name." - David Coccagna
