Reception
[edit]Tamte Czasy received mainly positive reviews on release. Textura.org reviewed the album positively, calling it "Taken on its own terms, the album's sultry piano serenades and ominous vignettes make for a potent combination."[3] Vital Weekly said of the album "I think Gwozdz delivers a true fine ambient album of great quality."[4] Stephen Fruitman, writing for Cyclic Defrost, stated: As a kind of mood primer, Gwóźdź taped cassette hiss over which to record his album. It is just barely discernable and gives his meticulous compositions, combining a variety of acoustic instruments, though most often and prominently the piano, with synthesizers, an enhanced foundation on which to adhere. It´s a very promising debut. It has its bland moments and it droops near the end, but its best tracks, and they are the majority, light up an otherwise dreary vista.[5]
