    Where other ambient artists can veer dangerously close to musak, Frahm always brims with invention. [Dec 2019, p.109]

    Anyone who goes into this album with the resigned attitude that it's just leftovers from Frahm's previous full-length release will be surprised to discover that it's a remarkably consistent and deeply immersive listening experience.

    Encores is a clear illustration of Nils Frahm’s ability to work both in small and large structures, with plaintive piano nuggets and broad electronic canvases enjoying their proximity.

    The three distinct movements on display lead into each other, as if in a singular narrative.

    All Encores takes a step backward [from 208's All Melody], toward a simpler, sparer sound. In essence, it represents a set of rough drafts, avenues abandoned as All Melody assumed its final form.
