    For those that do connect with the concept of this album as a whole and allow themselves to become immersed in Abbott’s analogue world, Wysing is as beguiling and intriguing as any record released this year.

    Despite its experimental provenance, Wysing Forest is a cohesive, multi-layered collection. [Jul 2014, p.87]

    [Amphis (Reprise) is] a quiet, almost reverent close to an album that further refines the disorienting beauty we've come to expect from Luke Abbott.

    Currently, there are few notable British producers creating such brilliantly odd pieces of music as this.

    It is an album which requires patience, which, once granted provides ever increasing rewards.

    This is deluxe, bespoke, artisan electronica, only slightly marred by its high seriousness and lack of mischief. [Jul 2014, p.67]

    A record too tart for beauty and too well reared for intractability.
