    ET streaks the gauntlet from breaks to hip-hop to trance and downtempo with seamless, soothing fluidity. [Oct 2003, p.90]

    At seventy-eight minutes, Emotional Technology gets a bit long in the tooth, but you get the feeling that the myriad streams of sound that pass between (and through) his ears have finally nestled together in a grandiose manner he envisioned. [Sep 2003, p.99]

    BT's attempts at rock 'n' roll lead to schizophrenic sloppiness.

    Just a shade less stunning than his last full-length, Emotional Technology at least establishes him as one of the better album constructors in the singles-driven world of dance.

    The music of BT is something that you either get or don't get. This album is a little different from 'Movement in Stil Life'; but all the hallmarks are there - incredible attention to detail, crazy / inspired sample exploration, and the unconventional mixing of disparate elements to create something unique and beautiful.
