Here you go with the Foxy review:

«Possessing New Zealander citizenship should seem a cliché in this day in age for outsider music, but here's yet another entry in what should be an invasion - Tim Coster. On this three-track, thirty-seven-minute excursion, we truly get the best of two competing aesthetics: sophisticated digital and (at least the feel) of workman analog. As the opening breathless salvos roll in, the desired sound-realm could either be the murky oak forest hiding demonic familiars or the last moments of fried antiquarian hardware. If I stare at the cover art, I suddenly hear the creaking of the pictured waterwheel, along with the spectres floating above the broken floorboard into ephemeral night. What makes this recording breathe are the milliseconds of 'imperfections' that break the digital gloss, turning it into something alive and fragile (and not just a preprogrammed exercise). Beyond recommended.» -B. Miller
