about

"Following a similar path, “Circulation” is another trip inside an original musical universe with opener “Vapor Turns To Mirrors” having a warm analogue sound that reminds you of all the classic Kosmiche bands of the Seventies. One of my favourite pieces from either album, the track is a tour-de-force of controlled sound, never bombastic or strange for no reason, each sound carefully layered around the others. Ultimately the track is one huge life-affirming drone that made me smile. Elsewhere there is the usual mix of sounds, tones and timbre, including “Silk Pajamas”, fifty-nine seconds of almost rhythm during which I was expecting Daevid Allen to offer me a Camembert."
Simon Lewis, Terrascope Online


"Last heard from Pat Gillis under his TL0741 alias with the 2012 release "Held To Account", although he also released a Northern Machine record that year. Got a couple of new albums from him 5th January 2015. With all of his electronic music, his avowed aim is to liberate electronic sound from what he sees as the “traps” of harmony and rhythm, intending thereby to arrive at an ideal, perfected, “pure” sound. On "Circulation", he does it through a series of experimental schemes and actions, of which the opening cut "Vapor Turns To Mirrors" is among the strongest – the piece goes twisting and weaving through strange manipulations in a highly convincing fashion, seeming to circumscribe a sort of airy labyrinth in the clouds. The title track "Circulation" is another winner, with its disrupted, semi-mechanical patterns struggling to transmit their simple robotic messages across fields of toxic post-nuclear murk and solar winds. And "Lives Of Breathless Ecstasy" should appeal to all listeners who miss the work of famous Polish experimenter Zbigniew Karkowski – it has a very similar vibe of “sternness” and cruelty, a relentlessly advancing slow drone of metallic, reverbed horror. The rest of the album is interesting, even if some of these other tracks feel like unfinished sketches or half-complete ideas; but there’s a palpably dark and pessimistic tone throughout, giving the album a strong iron-like consistency."
Ed Pinsent, THE SOUND PROJECTOR
