Album reviews ::: :: :

www.Smallfish.co.uk: "This is a tour De Force... A stunning album!".

The Wire Magazine say: "Scott is particularly adept at layering coolly shimmering guitars and dark churning currents of noise into something vast". A haunting aspect of 'Navigare' is how it seems to contain traces of tunes that stand out like half-forgotten relics of the past".

www.boomkat.com :
ALBUM OF THE WEEK; 'Revelatory'!

'Navigare' fully embraces the idea of sound-sculpting whilst retaining the more suggestively song-driven impetus of Scott's past. A wonderfully rich ambient record in its own right - one whose residual echoes of a shoegaze past give it an appeal that transcends the usual parameters of drone music".

Silent Ballet: "Scott leaves little doubt that he has fully grasped modern song-smithing in ambient times, pulling from experimental electronic artists over the past two decades to create an album that is engaging, moving, and at times utterly beautiful".

Pennyblack.co.uk: "‘Navigare’ is a lovely album from a very gifted guy".

EARLabs.org 9/10 "The mysterious mood in this work reminds a bit of the films by David Lynch. With influences from (modern) classical music as well as modern electronic music he creates his own world of sound".

Brainwashed: "Scott has achieved an impressive degree of variety and emotional depth, making 'Navigare' a very strong and self-assured first album".

Mapsadaisical: "Navigare is another masterful addition to their catalogue. Miasmah rules the (air)waves".

Norman Records: "he has a spankingly delicious solo CD called 'Navigare' out on Miasmah and what a fine specimen it is".

10/10 Review "Navigare" from www.fluid-radio.co.uk: "Every now and then an album rises up from under the radar that has me engrossed to the point that it feels almost impossible to pen my thoughts and feelings. And so it is with Simon Scott’s new release ‘Navigare’ soon to be released on the Miasmah label.
.... as we approach the end of the ‘Navigare‘ tale the listener is left in a state of exultation knowing they have just listened to what has to be one of the best Miasmah releases to date. 10/10.

Milk Factory: "With Navigare, Simon Scott has created a contrasted piece of work, its vast sonic landscapes challenged by abrasions, distortions, its structure threatened by decay. There are moments reminiscent of Fennesz here, but Scott’s ill atmospheres and wintry soundscapes make this a much more ominous and dark proposition altogether.
4.7/5

Pop Matters: "Simon Scott strikes new ground on his own, and it may turn out to be just as rich as the ground he treaded 20 years ago".

www.tinymixtapes.com "If one thing is being made abundantly clear, it's that Simon Scott is carving a space for himself amongst the gauzy, texture-oriented music of a certain group of modern electronic musicians. Simon Scott has crafted a beautifully consistent and rich batch of tunes".

ALSO OUT NOW:::: A hard drive sound file contribution to the Machinefabriek collaboration with Gareth Davis "Soundlines" on 3 inch cd out now. "Depart /Repeat" 7" (recorded by and piano played by Nils Frahm) on Sonic Pieces, "Silenne" CD on Slaapwel and Simon's debut album "Navigare".
