If it might have seemed rather too breathless to have hailed a debut as a masterpiece, the temptation cannot be resisted second time out. The After Suite is a masterpiece with a capital "M."
--Chris May
--All About Jazz
Intriguing Gilles Peterson piano protege Mehler has Jarrett and Mehldau links,
but achieves mesmeric eff ects with a lot more space and a lot fewer notes.
--The Guardian
"Mehler's new 'Scheme For Thought' LP is a work of mellow magnificence..."
--Time Out London
It's wistful, dreamy, beautifully executed music, like the soundtrack to a romantic movie - but its avoidance of handy get-outs such as catchy grooves, idiomatic references or big climaxes marks it out as a confident statement.
--John Fordam, The Guardian
"His distinctive sound is unlike anything else coming out of New York."
--Stephen Graham, Jazzwise Magazine
"Harmonically there's a pleasing idiosyncrasy to this record with Mehler's chord progressions standing tantalizingly between jazz and classical while bursts of rythmic energy have subtle electronica undercurrents"
--Echoes Magazine
"This is beautifully calming music, inwardly-routed and pensive, the players circling around each other in a luminescent pool."
--Martin Longley, BBC Music
[FOUR STARS] "Mehler's naturally oblique blend of the impressionistic, lyrical and minimal is given enhanced allure by his quartet's combination of piano (Mehler), sax (Andrew Zimmerman), bass (Tod Hedrick) and Fender Rhodes (David Moore). It creates wispy textures on top of shifting sand harmonies. Disorienting and Fascinating."
--MOJO Music Magazine
"An introspective beauty, this is the record I've been dying to release for years."
--Gilles Peterson
