"Adams's grooves and loops often carry Saharan flavours, while Drecker's wordless, ethereal vocals evoke the emptiness of the Arctic north, with a touch of Tuvan throat-singing on Lightshaft. A seamless fusion that casts a low-key but binding spell".

"These are not songs but atmospheric, often hypnotic mood pieces. The throbbing, doomy guitar work on the opening Lightshaft sounds all the more eerie thanks to Drecker's throat singing, and is followed by excursions into African desert blues, now given a mysterious, unworldly edge. It is a strange but compelling set".

"It starts with a big deep desert twang, slowly merging with ambient echoes and distant, wordless voices - from featured guest vocalist Anneli Drecker of Norway's Röyksopp - conjuring up an other-worldly, crepuscular landscape. Then it camel-lopes off behind the deep throb of a firmly struck guimbri and subtle krakeb percussion - those Moroccan castanets - into North African terrain, Justin's spiritual homeland ... Don't expect conventional songs (...), even when Drecker's voice is more central as on "Crow Dream", "Fog March" (with hints of throat singing) or "Khamsa" either - the latter a rare example of a desert joik. This is filmic music for which you construct your own pictures inside your head, aided by its seamless sequencing where tracks merge in and out of each other ... It's a small masterpiece and likely to become cult listening".
