"Often astringent and uncompromising, David Lang's collisions of neo-minimalist and heavy-rock-style gestures have long been staples among releases from Cantaloupe Records ... This particular collection is dominated by the sprawling title track ... and as one might imagine this is not easy listening, although there are occasionally beautiful moments ... Lang is without question a talented and skilful if somewhat confrontational composer but I have to say that for my part liking each new piece I hear is never a given ... This disc certainly offers a representative selection of his oeuvre ... Performances and recordings are exemplary".

"Compiling four pieces for four different ensembles, David Lang's writing on water is a free-flowing recording that presents several unusual and rarely revealed facets of the composer ... From the struggle between dissonance and melody portrayed in "pierced" to the sweeping, oceanic scope of the title piece, the music defines a path that can be as serpentine as it is rigid ("forced march") or as minimal as it is immense. Riveting performances by Alarm Will Sound, Real Quiet, Crash Ensemble, the London Sinfonietta, Synergy Vocals and more make writing on water an electrifying, free-spirited and rambunctious addition".
