A Cambodian Spring (soundtrack)

Tom Beedham of Exclaim! rated this album an 8 out of 10, writing that "taken apart from the film, track-to-track, the mix of styles and tones across the soundtrack's different themes can be emotionally jarring and overwhelming" and "without falling back on the instrumental emotional manipulation film scores so frequently default to, Holden simply grounds those scenes of uprise and upheaval with that, foregoing crescendos and tension and simply riding out the moments with sober contemplation".[1] In The Irish Times, Donald Clark reviewed the film A Cambodian Spring and wrote that this soundtrack helps the film "against the odds, justif[y] its place on the big screen".[2] Resident Advisor's Layla Fassa states that this release shows "a subtle side to Holden's sound", allowing Holden to explore other genres than "proggy electronica or psychedelic trance".[3]
