    Even at over three hours, Disquiet holds together exceptionally well, from idea to execution, in a spontaneous, otherworldly flow.

    It's intense but can also be deeply calming, satisfying the moods of those who like the lengthy works of early fusion as well as the progressive and post-rock experiments of more recent years. Patient ears and a knack for deep listening are a must, as the rewards are endless.

    As with all Necks recordings, it's essentially one long piece of music, a slowly unravelling fabric that continues to delight, surprise and beguile but never repeat. [Nov 2025, p.88]

    Disquiet is a marathon - it's more than three hours long - but every minute matters. [Nov 2025, p.35]

    It's ["Ghost Net" is] the uneasiest thing that The Necks have done in years, and its duration of 74 minutes is long enough to wear down both resistance and acceptance. .... The other disc-long performance, "Rapid Eye Movement", is far more approachable.
