In the wild

"If Lustman were following the smart money, he'd craft an album full of songs that could double as festival-roster calling cards, but instead he's thrown caution to the wind and come up with something much more interesting. Who knows, maybe his next album will be wall-to-wall bangers, and that might even be a welcome thing. But there's a pleasure in the odd, quiet, open spaces that In the Wild suggests, in which pivoting gobos draw lonely beams across open floor, and dry ice wafts uninterrupted by moving bodies. Zones without people, main rooms without dancers-the album feels like an answer to the old adage about a tree falling in a forest unattended, and as such, In the Wild is brimming with imaginative potential".

"Some people may find all this frustrating. In The Wild is a circuitous sprawl that ducks any A-to-B linear progression. It's occasionally derivative, too ("Some Jazz Shit" could be an old DJ Shadow track). But for me it's a fascinating mosaic in which every tiny detail lends colour and depth to a work of real, high-minded seriousness".
