"... has a deft touch when it comes to molding silence and drones into rich celestial balladry. The subtleties of the new multitude, solitude are a nifty confluence of George Lewis's dreamscapes and Miles's Lonely Fire, and while it's a record that invites you to watch the embers glow, it does its fair share of shooting off sparks."...

- The Village Voice
"each song appears to sound like it has its own story to tell... and the album as a whole has direction, not stuck sounding like an “electrazzic” album because putting one out is the new fangled thing to do." - Jazz Times
"...part of a generation for which Autechre and Sigur RĂłs are as pressing a concern as Armstrong and Sun Ra. The band continues to support its latest release, Multitude, Solitude, a spacious collection of ambient soul" - Time Out, New York
"... this atmospheric collective, which takes full advantage of electronic programming and cross-genre appropriation... performs in celebration of its intentionally spooky new album, "Multitude, Solitude" - New York Times
"Simply put, ERGO is an electronic atmosphere band, NME is an acoustic blowing band and both revealed a profound though dissimilar rock influence. Harris, taking the place of Carl Maguire, played Rhodes, synth and piano; Sroka, seated in a chair, molded sound with trombone, a laptop rig and pedals; Baltazor gave the mournful, ethereal and at times spooky music a beating heart of rhythm."
- All About Jazz NY (live review)
"Ergo unequivocally set forth to upset all known jazz apple carts, successfully fomenting new dialogues in the process."
