# SLR016 (Constant Light track on compilation, November 2012 Cassette)
A compilation from Australia with four bands, two of them clocking in at ten minutes and two at just under fifteen. Dark Monolith I don't think ever made it to these pages, the other bands did. Constant Light open up here with a fine piece of darker than life ambience, of humming analogue synthesizers and likewise old sound processing devices. Cosmic music anyone? No, not really. This is just black hole music. Very nice. [...] I normally don't like compilations but with such lengthy pieces its always easier I guess, including the nice music. Obviously. (Vital Weekly FdW)

# Mag – Amplitude (Constant Light, March 2011 CD)

I have to admit while I wasn’t initially enamored by Mag - Amplitude, they won me over by disc’s end. It’s a nice mixture of familiar sounds, that’s surprisingly refreshing. Another fine showing by this Australian duo that got me hook, line, and sinker.  - Hal Harmon

Mag - Amplitude pulses with life all the way through, like a window seat on an excellent journey. - Was Ist Das

What is likeable about this Melbourne duo is while building beautifully layered music they leave enough stillness and space for you to lose yourself in it as it unfolds - Drum Media

With roots firmly planted in the music of the freewheeling Germanic 1970s, the forlorn, rainy 80s and 90s indie-psychedelia, Constant Light take it to the other side and return, without an OD catastrophe in sight, which is pretty good going for a Saturday night. Plug into their endless pulse and drive, just drive! - Cyclic Defrost

# Observations/1 (Constant Light, January 2011 CD)

It’s the kind of music that just washes over you, these beautiful ambient drifts, experiential music where your consciousness is affected but you barely remember you’re even listening to music. Beautiful. - Cyclic Defrost
