From Necessary Fixation
"Rien continues to forge a path of complete uncompromising textural synthesis and study. On The New Source Recording, Rien manages to perform in a way evoking dirty vinyl runout grooves, and the electricity of stocking-clad feet on carpet. Far from the set-it-and-forget-it style which now runs rampant, Rien reminds us of the strength of live manipulation. Brutally minimalist noise for true static fanatics."
