  • Summary: The release notes say that this is the third installment in the trilogy that began with "Not For Threes" and "Rest Proof Clockwork" and that it deals with the "duality of the ear." Hey, as long as it sounds good.

  1. Playlouder
    90
    A showcase of complementary flavours that burst out of the electronica ghetto.
  2. Armchair DJ
    80
    Combining state-of-the-art sonic trickery with inventive rhythms, gorgeous melodies and - most importantly - solid structures, these 19 tracks represent Handley and Turner's most satisfying collection to date.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    80
    Plaid's digitally inspired genius is to make electronic noises and the odd sample sound sad and celebratory, while occupying a spot on the dancefloor several galaxies away from Ibiza's gonzo techno
  4. CDNow
    80
    Double Figure further fuses the themes fans have come to expect, but feels even more warm and organic than past efforts.
