Excerpt: “Italian based Dilatazione stick to their roots in a very romantic way where they worship the sound and compositions of Tortoise — and it works. The Italian foursome have got talent … you can sense the huge amount of emotion they’ve brought into this work. In a simple manner, they’ve produced some very atmospheric tunes in a vibe that you can trace, especially to the first couple of Tortoise-recordings — that band’s classic era. This means groove based songs with the drums and bass in focus adding nice and dreamy guitar themes on top… “Tutto Si Dimentica” is by far the standout track of the album. Dynamic, beautiful, and energetic, it ends in the most frantic mood you find on this album — leaving you in a state where you actually want the track to go on and on and on… if you fancy the more emotional and balanced period of Tortoise or simply want to learn more about post-rock culture, songs and sounds, this might be an album for you and a good place to start.”

All Music Guide 

Excerpt - “A masterly sequence that annihilates and mortifies those who for years have passed off dreadful instrumentals for intellectualisms, slow-motion thoughts for highbrow experimentations, confusing pretentiousness for the narration of a genre which was born/bred/buried even before seeing its own heritage. All is forgotten. Except for emotions. “Too Emotional For Maths” is the beginning of an era. So complex, so fundamental.”

Nerdsattack (Italian Translation)

Excerpt - “A record that gives you a lump in the throat, and has the emotional strength of hail hissing against urban window-glasses. Everyone will find something personal in it, something intimate and hidden. And everyone will keep a different memory. “

Il Cibicida (Italian Translation)

Excerpt - “The real challenge with “Too Emotional For Maths” is, that to fully enjoy the subtleties of this album, you must first find the key to unlock the rewards. When the key is found, the treasures available are a joy to behold. There are so many intricate intertwining guitar parts, twisted chord structures, illusive percussion touches and smatterings of electronics. This album, unlike many lesser post-rock efforts, is not an instant quick-fix of quiet-loud dynamics, it’s an intelligent effort, that requires a certain degree of concentraition. Most importantly, though, this album is guaranteed to grow on you after repeated listens.”
