In 1990, he retired, built a home studio and began work on what would become "Aerial." 'Definitely one of the best electroacoustic albums ' ALL-MUSIC GUIDE  'This return of Dockstader is something to cherish, not just because his output has been so limited and scarse but because what we do have is so intriguing, persuasive and cliche-free; the music of an inspired explorer who trails in nobody's slipstream' THE WIRE
