3 stars out of 5 -- "Motoring along in finest Krautrock fashion in between moments of glacial beauty.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's amazing to think that this is the sound of four men improvising electronics rather than painstakingly applying coat upon coat of gloss in the studio.", "...As a sketchbook of ideas, TRACKS AND TRACES is interesting....'Sometimes In Autumn' conjures a beautifully bleak soundscape, with Rother's delay guitar ticking across vast space. The album closes with two 90 second miniatures...that are so exquisite, you're left asking why they don't go on forever..."

Additional Information
If there's less of the glittering glaze of the earlier albums, the explorations in ambient sound and mysterious and murky textures make for more than a fair exchange.
