Review extracts:

John Diliberto / Echoes: "It's hard to resist picking an Erik Wollo album as a CD of the Month. We've done it once or twice when CDs have been released in close proximity, but every album could be a CD of the month. Elevations overflows with chilly scenes of winter and implications of Norse mythology and heroic vistas. It's music that has epic dimensions, but with a minimalist's restrained elegance."

Chuck van Zyl / STAR'S END Ambient Radio: "Erik Wollo creates evocative electronic scores for the cinema of sleep [...] Elegant melodies wander through soundscapes of gentle beats and take the listener from states of dreamlike stillness, to frozen brilliance, to warm enchantment."

morpheusmusic.co.uk: "Melodic electronic music with clear beats and strong permeating tunes. Elevations is primarily a synthetic album that has an ambient foundation, but one with an organic heart - graceful chiming themes ring out against ambient textures and delicate chord structures..."

synthtopia.com: Elevations, the latest release on the Spotted Peccary label by Erik Wøllo, is a chilled collection of ambient electronica [...] Elevations is an evocative work that fans of ambient & downtempo electronica should check out."

Bill Davis / e/i magazine: "Elevations stands with Wøllo’s best, and fans of Vangelis and Burmer would be well advised to add it to their collection."

Phil Derby / Electroambient Space: "Elevations goes back to Wøllo's trademark sound of creatively seamlessly blending guitars, synthesizers and programming. These are light, lilting melodies that you can hum long afterward. Lush atmospheric textures abound, wrapping each song in a gentle cocoon of sound."
