"an arresting collection of electronica & Indie music." -
BEATFACTOR
“You should be surprised
what these guys can do with sounds, how they compose extraordinary
melodic
lines, twisted and melancholic beats, wise rhythms and most of all,
intelligent music.”
TEXTURA MAGAZINE
“Collapsing Culture: twenty
thoroughly sorted exercises in electronic boom-bap by five Texas-based Exponential
artists…the listening experience strengthened
by the seamless flow between the cuts…and the artists' dedication
to detail and elegant craftsmanship. Though typically only three to four
minutes long, the tracks are treated like mini-symphonies in numerous
cases.”
TRIPHOP.HU
“The album first catches with its exceptional covert art, which kind
of shows what you will find inside: a rare mixture of urban and ethnic, a
patchwork of modified and effected sounds and samples. The fully electronic
album is very experimental: no sample was safe from cutting, re-arranging
and effecting - you have to take some time to accommodate to the musical
way of thinking, but it won't be hard, as Collapsing Culture is very catchy.”
POPMATTERS
“Their
new label compilation, Collapsing Culture, showcases
the work of five San Antonio electronic/trip-hop artists
and proves the city surprisingly apt… Exponential's aural paintings are impressionistic little
abstracts, solid colors and shapes and random boxes that subtly reveal
their hidden layers.”
IGLOO MAGAZINE
Collapsing Culture “is a good
showcase for new electronic artists who don’t hail from the supposed
cultural hubs of the States. Theory
of Everything is an artist to definitely keep an eye on, as is Ęther216. The CD, with its stunning
artwork, is a sample of what is out there, away from the bright lights and
masses; it shows the potential of small labels from unknown areas.”
