    One or two genuine club thumpers make this Four Tet's funnest album to date. Had he stayed in the same beat-y kind of vein, the album would have been close to epic.

    With cohesive ordering and challenging arrangements, Four Tet sets up an album that is perplexing enough to keep you interested, and simple enough to wonder why Beautiful Rewind is frequently reminiscent of being the first of its kind.

    Free from any external pressure to conform, Hebden has managed to make a wholly uncompromising record that remains compulsive from start to finish. [Dec 2013, p.115]

    It's still recognizably Four Tet, still a cut above most EDM. It just feels a little frustrating.

    Beautiful Rewind is an extended tribute to pirate radio, connecting the dots between jungle, garage and minimalist house music.
