    Arcology is dense, detailed and melodic. [Mar 2016, p.51]

    Busy and engrossing, Arcology marks an exhilarating development in Thug Entrancer's sound.

    Arcology, like its predecessor, is a genre study first and foremost, rearranging familiar elements according to McRyhew's own idiosyncratic vision.

    Where McRyhew's first full-length approached footwork with playful individualism, this record favours freeform acid and techno structures.

    Creating a whole performance rather than unrelated pieces orbiting one another, Arcology is an adventure--not something a lot of albums can lay claim to.

    Arcology is very much an extension of that pulsing amalgamation of sounds, while filling out an expanded universe of technological touchstones.

    An almost abstract series of daubs, here, there. Melodies submerged in machinery.
