Avui (IT)
August és un àlbum delicat, evocador, melancolic i nitid en què Ielasi explora amb molta cura els limits de l’ambient i el minimalisme.
Reviews of August [12k1044]
Back to ReleaseBlow Up (IT)
Il disco resta comunque un bell’ascolto, anche se la direzione intrapresa (insieme facile da realizzare, acomodante e “remissiva” emotivamente) convince solo fino a un certo punto.
D-Side (FR)
Un August dont on se souviendra sans doute bien plus que du calamiteux été 2007.
Gonzo (BE)
Het is overduidelijk dat dit erg innemende August voor het genre een van de belangrijkste releases van het jaar is.
E-I (US)
As one has come to expect from Ielasi, however, it is restrained and candid in approach, making this one of his most direct and personal statements yet.
Octopus (FR)
Linéaire dans sa splendeur désolée, l’objet – intime et précieux dans son indescriptible mystère.
Rockerilla (IT)
Il chitarrista milanese entra nello spirito dell’etichetta di Taylor Deupree registrando il suo disco piu delicato e descrittivo.
Neural (IT)
Ielasi seems to leave his usual improvisational preferences behind to embrace a more linear approach, built among carefully thought-out abstractions and superimpositions.
Le Son Du Grisli (FR)
Sur August, Giuseppe Ielasi délaisse un peu ses guitares et confectionne une musique sous influence.
Ruis (BE)
Hoewel de stukken veel omvatten blijven ze kristalhelder en daar ligt juist Ielasi’s magie.
Sound Of Music (SE)
På August är han ensam och beträder den utsträckta minimalismens domäner medan han tillsammans med Nicola Ratti på Bellows går in i looparnas och det repetitionens minimalism.
Lost At Sea (UK)
August’s appeal lies in its capacity to sound diverse, yet at the same time consistent.
Other Music (US)
This enjoyable, intriguing manipulation of sounds is entirely worth the listen.
Sound Projector (.COM)
The Italian genius turns in five long tracks of very discreet and gently textured humming fragility, aided in places by the trumpet of Heimo Wallner and the tape recorder of Renato Rinaldi.
Tokafi (.COM)
The album is unafraid of going from very quiet passages to moments when voluminous organ thrusts and growling distortion lift the music to a brutal climax.
Vital Weekly (NL)
Where there is room, Ielasi throws in some delay. Yet there is never a muddy sound, and everything remains crystal clear. Following his previous solo releases on Sedimental and Häpna, this is another fine addition to his catalogue

Bad Alchemy (DE)
Seit Gesine (2005) und dessen düsterem namenlosen Nachfolger (2006) auf Häpna gehöre ich zu den Verehrern von GPUSEPPE IELASI…
Signal To Noise (US)
A loop that wouldn’t sound out of place on an early Seefeel record
