"Really nice tracks here, with great releases in compilations and now with this album, I can think in D.Batistatos like one of the best chillout producers of this moment. 8/10"

I wish this album would be better than the other Cosmicleaf album, Side Liner, because it disappointed me... |

AmbientMusicGuide.com review:
=====================
Cosmicleaf's chill comps and artist albums usually show strong roots in psy and progressive trance, exploring the enormous potential of those styles in a downtempo context and building on them with sounds from other dance and electronic genres. Greek composer/producer and label regular D. Batistatos surprises with a debut solo album that has roots all over the place, which I find a source of both joy and frustration.
The tempo is very consistently laid-back, the sounds softer-edged and airier, and trancey arpeggios when they do appear are often sitting back in the mix. His love of floating cinematic strings is apparent on "Crazy Sick Monkeys", "Shining" and the gorgeous "Mood That I'm In". The stoned rhythms and reverberating production techniques of dub also make an appearance, inevitably perhaps. The title track "Architect" takes the album on a left-turn with an urgent, rolling bassline and snarling guitar samples set against pretty minor-key strings. One of my fave psy-chill pieces "At The Bottom Of The Ocean" gets a remix that retains the original's ghostly beauty while reconfiguring the rhythm

Review from Freeze Magazine (Rated: 100%)
=============================================
Prevailing sountrack elements and cinematic atmosphere,
D.Batistatos coming to suggest his own special chill dubby with many alternative elements music
and to put Cosmicleaf in other directions, every track and a drive of soul,
listen it carefully, it has future....

Review from Marius-Christian Burcea
Producer of Radio France International (Bucharest/Romania)
=============================================
This is a surprisingly brilliant
recording that bridges several styles, from chill to world and rock. The
ambience is both stirring and intimate, as D.Batistatos weaves a hypnotic
and touching web of flowing music, running just over an hour of pure
pleasure for the soul. The more you listen "Architect", the better it
gets...and the hits just keep on comin'!

Review from XL Magazine(Greece)
=============================================
The known composer of many famous local singers after some stand alone participations on cosmicleaf compilations present us his debut album in downtempo and chill out paths.
Music which could be easy a sountrack in a movie of independent cinema.
Rated: Large
