Quarter Turns over a Living Line

Quarter Turns over a Living Line is the debut studio album by the London-based duo Raime, consisting of Joe Andrews and Tom Halstead.

Quarter Turns over a Living Line was praised by music critics and appeared on various publications' lists of the best albums of the year.

It allowed the band who was previously known in the underground circles to reach mainstream audience and gave Raime the opportunity to start touring and performing worldwide.

[7] Steve Shaw, writing for Fact magazine, said that Quarter Turns over a Living Line is "both powerful in its execution of an idea, but also quite sure of its own modest signature" and that its sound separates it from other industrial and drone albums.

[8] Pitchfork's Nick Neyland wrote that "the seven tracks here have the cold ripple of alienation and abandon pulsing through them" and called it a "logical endpoint for dubstep", reminiscent of post-rock.

[11] Resident Advisor's Angus Finlayson, comparing the album to the duo's previous work, called it "more expansive, more ambitious and more accomplished", complimenting the use of live instruments and the change of pace.
