"Minimalism isn't exactly thought of as kids' stuff, though laptoppers from Aphex Twin to Four Tet are always trying to mimic childlike feelings themselves. And Raymond Scott's Soothing Sounds for Baby makes it a point to soothe via repetitions that supposedly a baby can understand. Jack Hamill aka Space Dimension Controller aka Mr. 8040, AKA RL/VL, is thankfully too young to understand the sadie-masie crawl supposedly required of minimalists, and whenever his small, melodic textures threaten to disappear they always return calmly, in themes and droves and memorable parts, from two minute intros to extended ponderings."
