CRITIC REVIEWS
velocity:design:comfort turns pure chaos and insane glitch into something beautiful with ease.
I don't know how anyone else feels about this but if any album takes the no. 1 spot for experimental it's definitely this. I could say this album sounds like nothing else I've heard (which is true btw) but I'd just get more experimental IDM albums shoved in my face and I get that, but people who would do that are missing one thing that's pretty important to why I find v:d:c so special, it sounds like ... read more

If my eardrums were capable of experiencing orgasms, that would sufficiently describe the listening experience I had while listening to this album.
Also: that walled vocal/synth riff about halfway through “Fruitcake and Cookies” > any other reason to be content with existence.

I think that this is very close to being a perfect album. It does everything in my book so well: a brilliant execution of genre-blending that is inviting, emotional, unique, engaging, and creative. We have elements of IDM being used to create a glitchy dream pop atmosphere with a wonderful shoegaze atmosphere.
