Silver liquid flows through these expansive drone instrumentals all doused in a fine shimmer of delay with guitars, pedal steel, bass, synth and percussion, and some industrial found sounds, weaved into a graceful meandering drone psych.... more…Paloskeri
Tämä systeemi tuntuukin erittäin toimivalta. Greyscale on mukavan psykedeelistä tavaraa, ja tämä on itse asiassa yksi parhaimmista postrock -levyistä, mitä olen pitkään aikaan kuullut. Yhtään heikkoa kappaletta ei tältä levyltä löydy, sanoisin. more…Fakejazz.com

Seems that Melbourne trio Greyscale DID indeed produce one of the more sublime releases of 2003 after all...Cinematic and even a little graceful, Cruel Machine is a dense and frequently captivating release. more…Derives Belgium
Le trio privilégie aussi un large spectre instrumental : guitare, basse, batterie, orgue bien entendu, mais aussi vibraphone, guitare acoustique, congas, mélodica, short wave radio, tambourin, vieux claviers et synthétiseurs analogiques, programmations. more…Psychotropic Zone
