∞

"Given its all-encompassing title, it's fitting that ∞ (Infinity) is one of Tiersen's most ambitious albums, but its grand scale only magnifies his music's heartfelt beauty".

"No one making music today merges the worlds of popular music, experimental music, Western classical music, and European folk music as expertly as Yann Tiersen and ∞ is one of his most fully realized projects".

"It includes songs sung in the Icelandic and Faroese languages, with the music built up from a base of toy instruments in layers of electronic sounds and strings, combining the charm of Amélie with the grey-skied gloom of Sigur Rós. Tiersen never loses touch with his innate sense of melody, but the lack of edge means that 'Infinity''s charms are, in fact, finite".

"Infinity er Tiersens ottende album siden debuten i 1995, og atter en gang står den på overdådige orkestreringer, som ofte forløses i en hjerteskærende skønhed, der denne gang også skal tilskrives de mange gæstevokaler, som synger på alt lige fra bretonsk til færøsk og islandsk - blandt mange andre giver eksempelvis islandske Amiina en hånd med på såvel vokal som strygere. Efterhånden er der dog også noget let umoderne over Tiersens udtryk, der ikke længere overrasker på samme måde som tidligere".
