    Sufjan recorded a sountrack record like instead of promised regular album long awaited from 2015. But even as instrumental this album sounds like a parody on Robert Miles`s last records....

    The album is quiet. The 21 tracks are short, slow and soothing.

    An album can't wear the pants of Carpenter, Carlos, and Oldfield, all of whom crafted electronic epics built around unforgettable melodies and precise attention to detail when Stevens and Bram hop from one track to the next before any of their soundscapes journey beyond the front porch.

    Aporia, by no means, is going to be considered an essential Sufjan album. However, for electronic obsessives and longtime followers, the record will feel like absolute candy.
