Quotes from some album's reviews:

[...]As with Russolo, whose early cumbersome contraptions filtered the sounds of "nature" into unearthly, contrived, mechanical sound, Obsil is preoccupied with the relationship between artifice and the sounds of Heart, as evinced on "Curtains", with its heavily treated menagerie of noise. [...] However, as on the Reichian interlude of "Di Paese", Obsil can't resist the sweet lure of tonality.[...]
THE WIRE (UK)

[...]L'elettronica si ammanta di un velo di impalpabile bruma e genera una musica che è ricca di riferimenti alla tradizione classica, fra melodie perfettamente curate e inserti di pianoforte dalla cristallina fragilità. BLOW UP (ITA)

Obsil sigla un debutto di già limpida personalità.
RUMORE (ITA)

Obsil (Giulio Aldinucci) ha solo venticinque anni, ma sorprende la maturità con cui modella le proprie composizioni, a cavallo fra musica contemporanea ed elettronica. I brani qui contenuti sono scevri da quelle ripetizioni e ovvietà in cui il genere è solito incappare.[...]
MUCCHIO (ITA)

[...] Nel concreto si tratta di un campionario sonoro in cui si mescolano rumori di fondo, melodie, frammenti
armonici e pulsazioni ritmiche eteree. Il tutto gestito con un’evidente padronanza della composizione strumentale, ancor prima che sonora.
NERO MAGAZINE (ITA)

[...] I don't know how to describe this but it's jaunty, warm, abstract, disorientating, aquatic, moving, dreamy incidental music.[...] Thouroughly engaging future music. Wowzers!!

Press release:

 

This album includes all the fundamental points of Obsil’s artistic path, always characterized by an innate inclination to the experimentation and the research of original musical languages, as well as by the love for classical and contemporary music.
Every piece is characterized by a multitude of ethereal sounds that finely merge with the environment where the music is reproduced, dissolving themselves in the air to create an evocative and heterogeneous soundscape where melodic grains and almost imperceptible fragments of voices move around.
A recurring mutation of musical “images”, like points fixed on insane lines, guides the development of this compositions. Sound fragments, like unclear remembrances, vanish and suddenly come back without chipping away at the coherence of the pieces.
