An astonishing suite that combines a stirring orchestral grandeur with chilly, cinematic ambience. The first half of the album is beautiful but a little bit harrowing, like having a bird’s eye view down on yourself as you trudge hopelessly across the loneliest Arctic tundra, but the later tracks let some light in. Jules is that rare thing, an ambient composer whose command of atmosphere is equalled by a strong sense of narrative and melodic progression. —Boomkat
