I could listen to something like “War machine” forever… Cave and Ellis defined their work on “War machine” as “spiritual electronics” and I couldn’t think of a better name for what I’ve just experienced… This is music for the soul… This is my favorite score of 2017 so far and a journey I recommend to anyone. – Soundtrack Dreams
