reviews:
by Boomkat
“a real gem in the Line catalogue, the best release on the label for a while”
by Drowned In Sound
“beautiful…something that perfectly mirrors its apparent inspiration from bodies of water”
by Critical Masses
“Drono causes delicate ripples within the ambient music continuum, fitting in perfectly but disturbing slightly with its superior craftsmanship”
by Norman Records
“super-spliced fragments of samples and voices…richly rewards closer listening”
by SWQW
“Énigmatique et hypnotique à souhait…Derek Piotr signe avec son skeud un des travaux les plus accessibles de Line”
by EtherREAL
“composé de façon méticuleuse avec des éléments d’improvisation”
by Ambientblog.net
“Rather than focusing on a single, slowly moving chord…there is a lot of variation to be found”
by デンシノオトⅢ
“evolved as a sound artist / musician…a form of 2010’s specific dense electronic sound“
by p*dis
“巧みにプロセスされた本人の声とグリッチ”
