"..a collection of 4 tracks of winding electronic ambience and tumult clearly created by a skilled hand (and ear). " k.m.krebs
"This is a stunning release that has a great deal of depth and focus, a soundtrack to a captivating science fiction adventure. Recommended highly!" Dodds Wiley, ambient.us
"amazing soundscapes. eternity caught in sonic language, with hints on human vocals and tiny bits and pieces from orchestral works (is that a half second from stravinsky's the rite of spring?) stretched and granulated into oblivion... " nova

"five beautiful tracks that slowly and melodically drift by for forty-five minutes of auditory bliss" Brad Mitchell

"Canada's raemus delivers a five-piece suite of manipulated
field recordings. Playing off different "streaming"
scenarios, the sound sources range from bubbling brooks to rush hour traffic
to digital data transmission. Subtle
shades, nuanced textures and seamless transitions blend to create a quiet meditation
on movement." john kannenberg
"In 2004, new records by many old favorites, like Squarepusher
(Ultravisitor), Beastie Boys (To the 5 Boroughs),
John Adams (On the Transmigration of Souls) and DJ Krush (Jaku), albeit very
fine in their own right, didn't demand
concerted, continued, curious listening. Admittedly, no single netlabel release
seemed to hold its own against these,
though two on the Stasisfield label, John Kannenberg's Four Painters and Raemus'
Stream Studies, certainly
came close." Marc Weidenbaum, Disquiet

"... an adventurous trip into sci.fi and HAL9000, carried
away by organ, ringmodulated and violalike sweeping
sounds. The form is structural readable, far away from digital, urbanism
and other modern metaphers. scapish music" 020200
"...deceptively simple music, raw percussive-oriented
songs that leave plenty of room for the mind to wander about in.
The individual instrumentals are, for the most part, as spare as minimal techno,
but without the resounding dub
that lends that genre its loungey depth and allure. Instead, Raemus
settles, with a few exceptions,
for the brittle. " Marc Weidenbaum, Disquiet
originally released on 2063

"An astonishing journey through twelve unique tracks.
The pieces range from dark ambient sculptures of vast worlds
to droning landscapes both empty and full of various items. These moments take
you through cavernous spaces that
leave you with a unrecognizable feeling deep in the pit of your being."

wieder ein guter Release, wieder ein Newcomer auf KOLORFORM dessen Namen man
sich merken sollte..." Drone Records
