Hyperion

"Hyperion ends with "Humanity Gone," 11 minutes of downtempo cinematics that plod like a lonely nighttime walk. The synths moan, the drums are sparse and, towards the end, a moody saxophone rings out in the distance. It's a poignant place to wander. In these moments, you get the sense Lévy set out to write something intimate and grand. Too bad the album is clouded by so many outside influences".

"The collaborations largely see Lévy failing to truly engage with what his guests can bring to the table, and he doesn't leave a mark of his own identity either. Ultimately, on `Hyperion', despite some positives, Gesaffelstein isn't able to recreate past glories, nor advance on them -or even successfully reinvent himself. By the end of it, you're mostly left feeling confused and underwhelmed".

"He didn't invent the rough-and-tumble approach to techno that most know him for, and the churning instrumentals of Hyperion would've sounded at home amidst the grab-bag Aleph-proof, maybe, that while he has consistency on his side, true artistic evolution remains out of Lévy's reach".
