Selected feedback:

•  Laurent Garnier - this is proper detroit moody techno stuff Will play of course lovely thanks for the link
• Fantastic records all 3 track!!! The Solab rmx is so deep so good! Anthony Parasole (NYC)
• 
  was bumping this last night man ...  it is another great piece for the label man .. great work..
   Keith Worthy (Detroit)
•  Nuno dos Santos - absolutely adore moonlight!!                                                                                
• Taho - Beautiful as usual.                                       
• Keith Tucker - 'Moonlight' is beautiful.
• Jeroen Search - very, very nice release!!! i think my favourite is moonlight
• Dave Mothersole - quality as usual - feeling both og's and i also like the solab mix. great ep.
• Philip Sherburne - All three tracks are great -- they have a very classic feel, but they don't get stuck in reproduction of a sound. "Moonlight" reminds me a little bit of old Apollo/R&S material, very ethereal but with a backbone. "Sunlight (Solab Mix)" is surprisingly powerful, it comes on slowly but it's a real mover of a track. And "Sunlight" might be my favorite of them all -- there's a ton of life and movement in the track, from the bassline to the chords to the electronic birdsong above. Lovely, lovely stuff.
• Jamie Behan - Thank you for this release!!! This is probably the best Ive heard from you so far. 'Moonlight' is just so atmospheric. Futuristic yet old-school. I can see myself playing this in my deeper sets in small dark rooms. Same goes for 'Sunlight' although this is much more peaktime orientated. The strings, keys, and bassline just fuse so well together. Something very Belgian or Dutch about it and I mean that in a good way as in Fabrice Lig/old Duplex material. Fantastic work
• André Kronert - Dig the Solab remix a lot. All tracks are nice but this one is a classic number for me!!full support.

24. Edge Of Infinity Feedback

25. This really takes me back! Love all the sounds and vibes, top stuff thanks
    Milton Jackson (Freerange / Dark Energy)
    
    Cool tracks. i thought it was edge of motion at first - remember them, on
    djax? all three tunes are good, but it's 'coruscation' that really stands
    out - excellent groove, sounds and arrangement. cheers, Dave  Mothersoul
    
    Seventh Sign at its finest - this is a beautiful, soulful and seriously
    deep record. Spiritual Reflection, Abstract Notions and Coruscation are all
    just fantastic. I cannot even choose a favourite, loving all the tracks.
    Thanks a million for this. Best, Kazuumi
    
    Thanks nice, melodic and quite different from the usual sounds cheers
    Franco Cangelli
    
    Very nice release. all 3 tracks are good but my favorite is "coruscation".
    it has a great atmo and the drumming and melodie is nice. sure i'll play
    it.  Martin Hayes (Koax, Emote)
    
    Nice Deep ep! Roberto Bosco (Nightvision)
    
    Abstract Notions is an instant classic for me. Those chords!! Beautiful
    track.... Can't wait to play this out on Saturday and will no doubt be a
    part of my set for a long time..... Thanks! X  Frenchy( Back2Basics)

27. Edge Of Infinity "Spiritual Reflection" 7SR015 (Digital)

28. Highlighting the wealth of unsigned, talented artists out there, we have this, their first proper EP. First up is "Spiritual Reflection", a piece that draws influence from a bygone era, bringing together a hypnotic hook and a powerful rhythm track, all underpinned by a raft of rhythmic, melodic sculptures. Next up is Abstract Notions, a masterful piece which could easily slot into the Rhythim is Rhythim catalogue with it's insistent bassline, beautifully lush pads and delightful atmospherics. Finally "Coruscation" closes things out with it's twists and turns and a main hook that conjures up UR inspired moods.
