"When
one hears the faint echoes of choirs nestled in electronic drones, one
feels the tug-of-war. One side sings of a higher purpose and a deeper
connection. The other purrs, modern, convenient, now. [...] The organ
tones and choral samples convey the call of the ancient, often lost in
the bustle of the new."
A CLOSER LISTEN (USA)
"It is a beautiful work, at times mind-blowing and
expansive, and yet feeling quite close and intimate at times."
THE SOUND PROJECTOR (UK)
"It's
no linguistic coincidence that the concept of temperament is one that
means both an individual's disposition and the technical training of an
instrument to produce frequencies in a given key. Aldinucci's music is
laden with temperament, of both kinds, with a swathe as wide as the
emotional spectrum itself. "
MUSIQUE MACHINE (UK)
"A moving piece of deeply melancholy arctic drone."
FIRST FLOOR (USA)
"The
Siena-based producer pairs glacial, time-defying Ambient movements with
brittle and washed out atmospheres, additionally sprinkles lone and
lost piano tones as well as what seem to be ethereal, angelic and
somewhat processed choirs and non-vocalisms onto this foundation whilst
adding majestic widescreen cinematic movements and almost sacred,
enlightening cascades of sounds. Recommended"
NITESTYLEZ (D)
"Un disque splendide, d'une rare
élégance, qui redonne à l'électronique une dimension humaine,
transcendante."

Disappearing in a Mirror was incuded on the 2022 TOP albums

INDIE ROCK MAG (F)
"Real è questo, è la profonda religiosità del verso e
del canto che riesce a sconvolgere e commuovere, giunge nel cavo
dell'animo e apre i portali di un luogo che via via si sta svuotando."
ROCKERILLA
(I)
"Maar bovenal is dit weer een
hallucinerend mooi meesterwerk."
DE SUBJECTIVISTEN (NL)
"[...]
Avec son intitulé et ses intentions affichées (proposer quelque chose
d’authentique, tout en démontrant comment les transformations sonores
peuvent façonner une autre réalité), l’album laissait effectivement
présager ce recours plus fréquent à des instruments réels. De fait, on
les retrouve donc sur ce nouveau long-format, qui ne relâche pas, en
parallèle, ses efforts sur la mélancolie sous-jacente à ce registre
musical, ni sur la profondeur de son propos.  "
EtherREAL (F)
"Real
should have been called totally
unreal as nothing that one hears in it is quite what it seems."
AUDION (UK)
"Poussé
par une force intérieure éblouissant, Real n’en demeure pas moins un
opus habité de fragilité cassante et d’émotion coupante, traversé de
mélancolie angélique et de tristesse tourbillonnante. Superbe."
SILENCEANDSOUND (F)
"Dahin, wo Schmerz und Schönheit,
Überwältigung und Rückzug, Melancholie und Alltag sich kaum noch
unterschieden lassen."
GROOVE.DE (D)
"Wer
das herbstliche Kopfkino in Gang setzen will und zu den von außen
erlebten schwieri- gen Zeiten auch in seiner ei- genen Gedankenwelt in
dunk- lere Fahrwasser kommen möchte, dem sei die Platte empfohlen."
