Music
Zones Without People is an ambient album. Lopatin described the album as combining multiple approaches to psychedelic music. It uses "druggy" and "dreamy" synth tones to help build walls of ambient sound, according to AllMusic. Critics have described the album as sounding devoid of humanity, as described by its title; Stereogum described “Learning To Control Myself” as sounding like the "frenetic tangle of laser rumble". == Reception ==
Reception
Zones Without People received 4 out 5 point ratings from both AllMusic and Sputnikmusic. The album was ranked eighth out of nine within Lopatin's discography in a 2017 Stereogum article. They found the album to be "restless, inconclusive" and a poor introduction to Lopatin's discography, as it may seem off-putting. According to AllMusic, the album helped build Lopatin's reputation for "subaquatic synth tones" and "walls of ambient sound". == Track listing ==
