"Buzzle is a perfect
and intriguing union of the electronic and acoustic... Beautifully languorous,
moody, smoky and lush... it's a CD of music that lives in the details.
And there at least 100,000 or so to consider. " (Kerry Leimer,
e/i)
" Tim Story's newest, astonishing compilation of sonic portraits,
Buzzle, is unique, complex, soothing, envigorating, and perfectly constructed.
It is a mix of downtempo beats and lounge-inspired etherea fleshed out
with intriguing electronic treatments. Story has opened the big bag
of sounds and pulled out some new, unusual and perfectly effective elements
that give Buzzle its incredible depth and character... I can't stop
listening to it. Individually, each song is incredible, full of depth
and richness. Together, they are a perfectly constructed suite of eminently
listenable music and a seamless, engaging journey. Simply the best CD
I've heard in quite some time. Buzzle is a Hypnagogue Gotta-Get CD."
**** (4 stars)
(John Shanahan, The Hypnagogue)
"Seething brilliance and dark seduction... This episodic album
is wonderfully diverse in its arrangement, full of enticing synth-borne
melodies, arcane modulations and shadows of regret. If Story's work
is actually a spiritual searching through the medium of music, with
Buzzle he has stumbled across more than a few haunted recollections."
