“Many of the ideas in this collection have now been so completely assimilated into popular listening that it may sometimes be hard to remember how surprising it all was on first outing. Some of it still sounds pretty exotic. These CDs are important as part of the story of how we got to where we are now–the cultural conversation so far–and as a still fruitful repertoire of future possibilities.” —from the Foreword by Brian Eno
"Herein lies the connective tissue bridging musique concrète, 20th-century classical, electronic experimentation, and the theoretical avant-garde to psychedelia, ambient, dub, techno, electro, and synthpop." —Amazon.com
"Early pioneers of electronic music get their due on Ellipsis 'OHM' set." —Billboard
"The whole thing is a scream." —Rolling Stone
