Reviews:

The Wire Magazine say: "Scott is particularly adept at layering coolly shimmering guitars and dark churning currents of noise into something vast". "A haunting aspect of 'Navigare' is how it seems to contain traces of tunes that stand out like half-forgotten relics of the past.

www.smallfish.co.uk "This is a tour de force...A stunning album".

www.boomkat.com say: "ALBUM OF THE WEEK. Revelatory"! "A wonderfully rich ambient record in its own right that transcends the usual parameters of drone music".

www.fluid-radio.com "...as we approach the end of the ‘Navigare‘ tale the listener is left in a state of exultation knowing they have just listened to what has to be one of the best Miasmah releases to date". 10/10

www.EARLabs.org 9/10 "The mysterious mood in this work reminds a bit of the films by David Lynch. With influences from (modern) classical music as well as modern electronic music he creates his own world of sound".

www.textura.org "The album's epic tone is so immense... they'll leave you swooning".

www.somethingexcellent.com: "Navigare is a debut album that feels so assured...stunning"!

www.themilkfactory.co.uk "Below Sea Level is wonder... a quiet revolution".

"Simon Scott has crafted a beautifully consistent and rich batch of tunes. If one thing is being made abundantly clear, it's that Simon Scott is carving a space for himself amongst the gauzy, texture-oriented music of a certain group of modern electronic musicians".

indiebandwagon.blogspot.com "This album is really stunning not only in it's detail but also in it's mammoth sounds. Simon Scott's album blows you away with it's cyclonic sound"! My Rating : 8.5/10

/www.musiquemachine.com: "This record’s not for staring at the floor, it’s for peering up into a night sky spattered with northern lights"!
