 "Just like 'Ulysses', in fact, this album is cerebral and complex (and also extremely boring if you are looking for something emotionally rewarding)."

Thomas Fehlmann's album 'Good Fridge. Flowing: ninezero nineight' compiles mostly unreleased ambient tracks from the 1990s. The album flows smoothly but lacks the emotional engagement typical of ambient legends like Brian Eno.

 "Despite making so much noise that Alec Empire seems like a wimp."

 "Managing to convey emotions with such poverty of means is in itself a merit."
