"An album that rewards patience; thoughtful and ruminative, calling to mind at times the impressionistic style of songwriting that Mark Hollis of Talk Talk so skilfully embraced. Cooper is progressing at his own pace; the results are elegant.” Modern Nature – 7/10
“Music with a sense of wonder... The songs feel like meditations in the blue hour, in the time of dew, the rural morning that feels like a perpetual Sunday... A rich volume of musical poetry that demands a certain commitment to appreciate its rich fervour.” Uncut – 8/10 Album of the Month
“The music retains its freeform, intermittently dulcet quality, while erring, variously, towards austere folk (Orange), mysterious pastoralism (Sun) and minimalistic, soulful reverie (Ensō). The striving for authentic existential expression here is refreshingly, often compellingly, uncompromising.” MOJO – 4 stars **
“Songs that are impossibly moving... refreshingly human, engagingly communal and ultimately convivial... Natural magic.” The Wire
“No Fixed Point In Space is a masterpiece of exquisite understatement. A jazz-inflected collection of rare grace and subtlety.” Record Collector – 4 stars **
“Open spaces, jazz/folk improvisations, avant-classical ambience; Jack Cooper’s unit reimagine Talk Talk under the Stansted flightpath.” MOJO (playlist)
“Jack Cooper takes what he’s learned from hanging with the free jazz crowd – or observing birds in flight – and sets his quietly ecstatic folk songs free on the breeze.” Uncut
