“Like Richard Devine on acid... I was completely blown away... the pinnacle of bleeps and bloops and everyone deserves to know it.”— Colin Benders
“Some of the most mind-blowing algorithmically generated music I'd ever heard”— Richard Devine
“HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION: William Fields is at the absolute front of algorithmic music and this tremendous 24 hour collection is some of the wildest stuff out there... TOP NOTCH”
— Telefon Tel Aviv
“A master of the dark arts. A minimalist with a big sound. A pioneer and a deeply clever chap. He’s an audio visual mash man that’s got tasty taste. A rare combo!”
— Jamie Lidell
