"Letters" album review from Textura
"Like previous October Man recordings, the impressive quality of Like Kisses Of Thread's Letters is belied by its miniscule run. Without question, more listeners should hear the six pieces comprising James McDermid's hour-long collection of lush electronic soundscaping. Five of the pieces are nine minutes or longer, enabling listeners ample opportunity to immerse themselves into his flowing ambient masses of pianos and glistening electronics.
A bass drum pulse helps animate the dense synthetic patterns and string instruments that swirl throughout the thirteen-minute “Hiraeth.” Escalating that approach to a slightly more epic and locomotive pitch, “… And Sadness Preyed On Her Face” rolls along like an unstoppable colossus while the eighteen-minutes “Summer of the Seventeenth Fall” has ample time to work its low-level dreamscape into position. Perhaps the most sonically ear-catching piece is “A Kewpie-Doll-Like Waltz” which emerges from an introductory cloud of timepiece whirr and click to become a mallet-instrument-driven field of sparkle before ceding the front-line to rambunctious percussive rumble. A carefully-crafted blend of drones, ambient, and minimalism, Letters hopefully will be heard by a considerably larger audience than its tiny run might suggest is possible."
"Glimps" album review from Smallfish Records
"This is quite simply a fantastic slice of noise based experimentalism. Nine tracks which range from aggressive white noise to a more glitchy and almost, a times, melodic sound via some wonderful ultra-minimalism. Produced with care and attention, this is highly recommended."
"Plasma" track review from Smallfish Records
"...From found sound manipulations to high freq. material via glitchy rhythmic tracks and white noise assaults, it's all here, and it's all very high class..."
"Further from Glass part iv" track review from Losing Today Magazine
"...'Further from Glass part iv' sounds like the last Sunday morning chimes to the end of the world..."
