VARIOUS REVIEWS:

"...The Times of Light & Iron is a record to get your hands on and Jason Alacrity is an act to keep your eyes peeled for. This record shows great potential of a future superstar of the scene."
- John Galope, ReGen Magazine

"...this is an amazing solo debut. The Times of Light & Iron is a driving force from the aggressive beginning to the bitter end."
- OverThrow E-Zine

"...this is a promising new effort from Alacrity, varied enough to keep things interesting but held together by an aesthetic that ably mixes slick techno with brooding lyricism."
- Matthew Johnson, Grave Concerns E-Zine

"Mixing beautiful and plaintive (yet danceable) futurepop and EBM music with slower instrumental pieces, and even an almost IDM-ish track with "Red Country", the album is quite diverse with a cohesive style unique to JasonAlacrity"
-DJ I.Z., Plastic Sickness E-Zine

"Strange, hypnotic, compelling...JasonAlacrity's music is truly something different from anything else I have ever heard."
- MikG74, iTunes
