Berkdrums A labour of love...is what comes to mind each time I listen to this entire album. Although it’s a double album, it surprises me with each spin that it feels to me as if it’s a single album, it’s thát amazingly good... ambient at its finest, created with passion and feel, absolute must-have....

rikm Mysterious and enigmatic, Means of Knowing is another fantastic release from the Archive label. There's a casually drifting beauty on display here, moments of wonder and beauty. Well worth checking out...

Mind over MIDI What an outstanding album! Beauty all the way. Pure ambient love. Favorite track: Essential Nature.

Rebecca a balm for the rapids of the mind Favorite track: Essential Nature.

Michael Ash Such a sublime album. It's the only thing I listen to anymore. Truly a mature work. Favorite track: Essential Nature.

about

"Touch is a reciprocal action, a gesture of exchange with the world…walking is not the action by which one arrives at knowledge; it is itself the means of knowing."

"Means of Knowing" is an exchange with the world, an effort to know it and ourselves more deeply. Like a long walk on a favorite path and the introspection and observation that such a journey inspires, it is an album full of constantly evolving interplay between natural and imagined sound sources. Tactile sounds from the physical world combine with textured, processed synthesis to evoke the depth of experience available to us every day.

Lovely and spacious sounds balanced with a disquieting atmosphere. An excellent suite that uses ambient music not just to calm the listener, but to transport them into an epic, sweeping storm. Alec L. Critten
