The Art of Music is a return of sorts for
K Hand, back to her minimalist Detroit roots after the jazz excursions on Soul, though occasional flourishes do much to unite the styles.
Hand's third album in just over a year sees debts to electro and techno blossom into a fully formed style, reminiscent of the explorations of mood techno with
Juan Atkins' Model 500 material, especially on tracks like "Census" and "Eternal." ~ John Bush
