 | | Led by John Beltran with backing by Seth Taylor and Sam McQueen, Indio are a collaboration primarily grounded in melodic ambient techno but one that also encompasses live instrumentation, giving it a somewhat jazzy feel. |
 | | Over the course of nine slow-moving songs that usually fall somewhere between the five- and ten-minute mark, the group unveils a hushed and whispery yet wonderfully intricate and crafted style of ambient techno-jazz that is downright enveloping, easing you into its gentle, mesmerizing aura, minute after minute, song after song. |
 | | Indio's self-titled debut for Detroit techno innovator Derrick May's on-again, off-again Transmat label is overall an excellent album that doesn't draw much attention toward itself yet nonetheless deserves notice, especially from those who follow Beltran's likewise modest yet noteworthy career. |
