"Masterfully discreet...Three albums in and Marconi Union still appear to be operating under the radar, which is fitting for an act whose music slinks stealthily but irresistibly around the listener" Uncut, *****

"Pensive and also sensitive and quietly dazzling, A Lost Connection is assured and graceful. Easy comparisons could be made with the likes of Boards Of Canada, or perhaps more accurately with Zero 7, but Marconi Union's ambient music has a distinctive and compelling atmosphere of its own. [They] find a fascinating intersection between rigour and warmth, between the functional and the sensory, between a dream world and the very real world of work. They are able to take potentially dry thematic concepts and use them to produce vivid and evocative sound." Music OMH

"The brooding soundscapes created by Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley occupy their own space, informed by the compelling beauty of derelict urban spaces....Issued on cd for the first time by Just Music.. one of the best labels for memorable new ambient and electronica music" The CMU
