| 4.0 excellent | Jots EMERITUS | February 19th 16 | great example of blending minimalism and a variety of instruments and more modern composition tactics. delicate, yet powerful. triumphant, yet tender. the organic quality of violin mixes beautifully with an array of other sounds, and there is plenty of variety here while still maintaining discipline. one of the year's best so far

| 3.0 good | cjbizzlebizzle | June 21st 16 | With 'The Ridge' Sarah Neufeld delivers an album rooted in classical violin that is anything but a full on modern classical album. Electronic, post-rock, minimalism, drone and pop influence help develop the overall sound on this record even if they aren't always cohesive. The obvious gripe is the overstated hammering percussion in several tracks; they are just clunky at times. The Ridge has several great moments with the title track, The Glow and A Long Awaited Scar coming to mind but on whole it becomes a bit repetitive with many similar tracks. There is no doubt Neufeld is a great musician but a bit more composition and variety would go a long way.
