It's been a week since Reactor One entered the world, and we've been so moved by the reception it's had around the globe.

Some lovely things people have said about it:

@JohnELewis picked it as the @guardian Contemporary Album of the Month (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️)

It was a pleasure speaking with @maceagon for this podcast focused on the context surrounding my music.

I discussed my formative influences, my failed attempt at becoming a literary translator, and some of the ways I discover new music.

And I chose 3 desert island discs.

Happy to see Reactor One among @DanPatonMusic's favourite 2023 releases!

Reactor One is one @MonolithBlogger's favourite releases of 2023!

‘‘A moving, evocative odyssey [through] a myriad of imaginative, mysterious environments and landscapes. One of those albums that truly gets better and better with every listen."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review in the latest @MOJOmagazine!

Thanks @vinylslam 🙏

Looking forward to our album launch at Kraków's legendary Alchemia club on Tuesday (link below).

[Alex Roth @AlexRothMusic]

I love that Bernard followed these tracks with a heavy dose of selections from the discography of @arve_henriksen, who featured on my last release (@MultiTraction Orchestra's Reactor One). Excellent playlisting as always!

[Alex Roth @AlexRothMusic]

It's release day for a record that took 5 years to make.

Delighted to share the debut album from Cut The Sky—my trio with Wacław Zimpel and Hubert Zemler.

Album of the week in @theQuietus!

"A heady blast of electronics, field recording and wild collective improvisation summoning a rich seam of emotion and solidarity."

Grateful to be reviewed with such sensitivity on my fave culture site. TY @AlterAnthony🙏

Won't be sharing any branded #SpotifyWrapped content, but it's cool to know that our music was streamed in 77 countries this year.

Shame Spotify has effectively deemed it worthless & "demonetised" it.

Best way to support is to buy from @superpanghq here:

Missed this at the time but Reactor One was named as one of the best albums of the first half of 2023 in @louderthanwar.

Thanks @citizenwatt!

MultiTraction Orchestra - Reactor One

An album rooted in jazz but drawing on post-rock and drone music. Built from leader Roth's guitar sketches it pushes at the boundaries of genre.

[Alex Roth @AlexRothMusic]

Spotify just made over 80% of my catalogue completely worthless.

That includes @MultiTraction's Reactor One, so I guess all these music critics must've been wrong 🤷‍♂️
