Opening with the blistering 'factoria', a field-metal blast with recordings from an industrial centre in England, as said about a previous album:

"What makes this work really shine out is its musical quality… The string work, exquisitely recorded and sorrowful, fuses and transitions with the electronic work in a way that really elevates the latter. It's a truly well-formed musical hybrid that makes the artificial feel natural and vice versa." [Chain D.L.K.]

"With segments of monologue and dialogue chopped up and scattered, sometimes overlapping with one another as well as the musical backing, which isn't exactly musical or backing, so much as a shimmering, shifting sonic collage, if not exactly reminiscent of William Burroughs' audio experiments, then very much a sonic interpretation of the cut-up technique in its simultaneous representations of multiple events and perspectives. Because every moment is a moment of change and the pieces on the stilling are constructed around a continual shift, it's disorientating by design. Scrambling the mutter lines, it's the soundtrack to your soundtrack." [Aural Aggravation]
