"Local synth-poppers Culture School set ye olde Techno TARDIS for the 80s on this five- song, short-and-blipping set. The brainchild of Quinn Spencer, Culture School genuflects before ancient gods named Casio, LinnDrum, Yamaha, and Oberheim-now-vintage synths and drum machines that are ideal for Spencer's taste for minimalist, retro-electronic. Tunes like "Betadata," "Eyes Like Winter," and the title track bubble along with percolating beats and bass-y keyboard jabs. Culture School is surely an anachronistic project: any of the songs would sound at home on an episode of Miami Vice or even as the soundtrack of a Reagan-era Konami video game. Younger music fans, many of whom seem to be currently exploring all things '80s, will probably get a kick out of this. For others who were alive 30 years ago, Akumu might offer either a nostalgic trip or a neon flashback". -Void Magazine
