"...here, an irregularly clanging metal sound amidst birds and wind that would seem to be a gate of sorts. I actually love this, can immediately place myself there and know I'd be doing the same thing as McIntyre: balancing the buffeting of the wind in my ears, a very physical thing, and the dull bangs of the object. The odd passing vehicle added as seasoning. Fine, fine work."
-Brian Olewnick, review in Just Outside, January 2013
"In its unassuming way, v-p v-f is v-n is a radical recording in how uncompromisingly it presents its unprocessed field recordings. No musical sweetening is added nor other strategy deployed to make the material more accessible, which will make the release seem like nirvana for the hardcore field recordings enthusiast but a challenge for someone less inclined. For the former, the release's eighteen settings offer a diverse and encompassing portrait of the natural and industrial worlds."
