May 27, 2016That’s just what this album’s got. A heart. Mathmatical, mechanical parts that once evoked landscapes, snowscapes, a view frozen in time now evoke emotions and memories. Fleshy stuff, any mistakes made with a smile. It’s that searched for human touch, something no mere tin man could create.
-
Jun 14, 2016The Triad edges ever closer to the purely experimental, with another tentative step rather than a bold foray into the electronica wilds, but for now it’s a worthy diversion from the well-trodden paths of other techno producers.
-
May 23, 2016The result is an album that creates its own world, one it feels like you could reach out and brush with your fingers.
-
May 19, 2016Tracks on The Triad are often busier, denser and more wild than their predecessor. Gone are the carefully layered compositions and _sparse wintry landscapes and arrived have more free flowing jams.
-
MojoMay 9, 2016The Triad's twinkly elegance is packed with rich detail that greatly rewards deeper investigation. [Jun 2016, p.96]
-
Q MagazineMay 9, 2016Weber's trademark fusion of cascading chimes and subdued yet propulsive rhythm has expanded radically in scope. [Jul 2016, p.113]
-
May 9, 2016The Triad is a commanding reminder of Weber's unparalleled restraint in unveiling the full spectrum of his constructs. [May - Jun 2016, p.96]
-
Jun 23, 2016The Triad has no standouts and doesn’t even stand out in the Pantha du Prince catalog. What it does do well is provide a consistent listening experience, blending all of Hendrik Weber’s strongest proclivities into a 10-song, 63-minute album best thought of as a mix.
-
UncutMay 24, 2016Shame about the occasional guest vocals, which veer a touch drab compared to their glittering backdrops. [Jul 2016, p.78]
-
May 19, 2016The Triad is an expansion of Pantha du Prince's otherworldly sound into a more human realm, but it still maintains its ethereal, magical qualities.
-
May 18, 2016Overall, The Triad is a satisfying reminder that Pantha Du Prince is still the best at what he does.
-
May 9, 2016Pantha remains less interested in constructivist concept pieces than interlinked studies riffing on a consistent theme, in which naturalistic splendor is conveyed by the interplay between thumping dynamism and sedate tranquility.
-
May 31, 2016All of Weber’s best qualities as a producer are on display on The Triad, his fourth album and first in six years. But The Triad also reveals a previously unforeseen Achilles’ heel: the guy doesn’t have a clue what to do with vocals.
