Appearances Alba Absurdia Compliation (CD) "Optic Peril" (Alba Absurdia Records 2003)
Midem 2004 "Das Boggon" (Scottish Music Centre 2004)

"On a Quirky and playful tip although still retains a certain warmth and musicality.
Think early Kitty Yo meets Toytronic meets, maybe Static Caravan.
A must fot fans of the label."

"Moments of true originality... watch this space"
Andy Richardson, The List

"From quiet & clean to loud & hectic. one of the best benbecula releases to date."
electronix network (Italy)

"This is the sound of electicism, vieing for your attention.
I've seen him do it live and it's quite an experience sonically speaking.
Operator is definitely one to watch, and more importantly listen to!"
Vic Galloway, BBC Radio One

"Operator's unique production techniques reveal themselves to be most eclectic and contemporary.
You could be in Keith Whitman / Fennesz guitar processing territory. Individual and different,
enter the world of Operator for a while, you should find something you like."

"There's no easy way to entertain a room full of people when you're just one man twiddling a few pots on stage,
but Lewis MacColl - AKA Operator - manages it by taking Route One and hitting us with some great music.
Of Course, the fact that he's in what appears to be an Obi-Wan Kenobi outfit made of old pyjamas
and a pair of novelty glasses also helps.
He's part of the Benbecula Records stable, and the fact that Operator deals in eccentric electronica
shouldn't come as a surprise. But it's nice to hear he's also pretty damn talented, with the obligatory
Aphex Twin fuzz and rumble and the odd arch Fischerspooner moment neatly balanced
by some basic, funky house breaks."
David Pollock, 4/5, The List

"Operator combines the most eclectic and contemporary aspects of new electronic music
and manages to be both muso and funky at the same time.
He builds his set into a fluid house break then lets it crumble into fuzzy, popping analogue noise
before repeating the trick again."
John Kelly, The Daily Record, Feb 2004

"Os1.1 (by operatør) is a very cool operating system, I want it on this pc now.
Its all good, what more do I have to say. Very recommended."
tesselate

"This is interesting stuff... most pleasant." www.normanrecords.com

"Taking the usual structure of beat and sample based experimental music
to different places ... recommended" Dan Shirai, pitchadjust

"Tisch by operator from os1.1. More good experimental electronic tracks from Scotland. This track balances some noisier IDM explorations on a bed of pure 80's electro, with a bouncy melody and a solid clap holding together a nice 808 beat that's clumsy in a calculated kind of way. For some reason, the thing that keeps coming to my mind on this one is if Aphex Twin remixed "Genius of Love" - but maybe not."
"Track of the Day" @ Dream Chimney

operatør selected in "best records of 2004"

A review in French of "Alba Absurdia". Could be bad, could be good, I have no idea.

Same goes for this one which is in Polish... I think? Answers on a post-techno-card to "Blu Peter".
