Reviews:

The Wire Magazine say:
"Scott is particularly adept at layering coolly shimmering guitars and dark churning currents of noise into something vast". "A haunting aspect of 'Navigare' is how it seems to contain traces of tunes that stand out like half-forgotten relics of the past" (Dec'09).

www.boomkat.com say: "ALBUM OF THE WEEK"!

www.fluid-radio.com
"...as we approach the end of the ‘Navigare‘ tale the listener is left in a state of exultation knowing they have just listened to what has to be one of the best Miasmah releases to date". 10/10

"This is a tour de force...a stunning album".

www.textura.org
"The album's epic tone is immediately established when “Introduction of Cambridge” rolls out sheets of ethereal sound so immense they'll leave you swooning...another stellar addition to the label's catalogue".

www.themilkfactory.co.uk
"With Navigare, Simon Scott has created a contrasted piece of work, its vast sonic landscapes challenged by abrasions, distortions, its structure threatened by decay. There are moments reminiscent of Fennesz here, but Scott’s ill atmospheres and wintry soundscapes make this a much more ominous and dark proposition altogether".4.7/5

"Navigare is another masterful addition to the Miasmah catalogue".
