"Fescal’s recent wayward plunge into the dominion of dark experimental music demonstrates that not only is he a deft of beatless dark ambient drones but of melodic dark electron-organic music as well. The title track “Ginger Baker” is a noisy venture into an opaque world of undulating drones thundering above subtle textures of electronics and samples. The aptly named “Vulgar and Kitsch” follows with the catchy babble of strong synth and keyboard samples along with heavy crackles and glitches. With “Bomdila Monastery” the emphasis is on an assortment of repetitive percussive sounds and looping brazen sonorities. Fifth “Pork Pie and Beans” is a cold, mellow composition with a beautifully simple minor-keyed melody, sad synths, programmed and brisk, ominous electronics flittering about in the background. What sounds like sound samples played in reverse set above layers of rolling percussion give “Shrimp Cake” a surreal atmosphere! “Evening Butterflies” is a playful, abstract collage of thick drones, curious electronics, and static noise."

"The oeuvre of Fescal is an attempt of disproving the notion that instrumental music is by default incapable of delivering a message. Firmly rooted in deep ambient, atmospheric drones and darkly associative soundscapes, the project's first trio of releases doesn't require metaphorical spoken word contributions, pseudo-intellectual titles or liner notes to rise above the mere acoustic massage and „pure entertainment“ of most albums from the genre. Rather, the devil's in the detail, revealing itself through a glacially unfolding narrative" “Lethal Industry” is perhaps most tangible in this regard: Haunting choirs are chanting in the distance (The Harbour Master) and syrupy organ points are viscously flowing through clouds of hiss (Orichalcum), while mysterious processes are stirring underneath the lenses of Fescal's microscope. Tracks like "Moon Man", with its serene pulsation and breathing layers of metallic dust or "Atlas Air", a single complex tone sustained for six full minutes, are meanwhile turning “Endorphin” into a feast for lovers of the drone.
