According to Andy Kellman of AllMusic,

"While there might be other producers who are more accomplished at making idyllic downtempo, or placid IDM, or abstract hip-hop, or haunting ambient techno, or blipping/skipping minimal house, few—if any—are capable of covering all of that ground with such sharp consistency on one disc." [1]

Jeff McIlwain has also composed music for films, co-scoring David Gordon Green’s films Snow Angels , The Sitter and Joe , Kevin Bray’s 2008 film Linewatch , and Meredith Danluck's 2018 film State Like Sleep .
