"This album compiles some of my very favourite Machinefabriek music... it certainly serves as a great entry into my discography". 17 tracks, 76 minutes of music, presented as a continuous mix.

"Rutger Zuydervelt continues to be prolific, while distinguishing himself as the rare artist whose productivity does not result in a dulling of quality. Samen contains tracks from the past decade, originally available on lathe cut, business card, cassette, 7", digital, split releases and other compilations...

The album also has a great sense of flow, as Machinefabriek sequences these pieces in a way that makes sense rather than presenting them in release order. The combination of aggression and tenderness is a staple for Zuydervelt, whose sonic curiosity results in instinctive juxtapositions... blending ambience, drone and crunchy, non-club beats... No compilation is sufficient to convey all of the sides of Machinefabriek... Keep them coming, we say; we'll be listening to every one" (A Closer Listen).
