ElliottMJul 18, 2005I wasn't sure how I felt about this album when I first heard it, but having just seen him live and playing new material, this album has suddenly come to life. I still like Rounds much more as a whole, though there are plenty of highlights on this album, particularly "Smile Around the Face," one of the very best songs he has ever done.

danieljJun 1, 2005My roommate got an advance copy of this about a month ago. We were both huge fans of Rounds. When I first heard this, I was annoyed. It just sounded like a bunch of bongo jamming with no tunes. After a couple listens, the lights came on. This is a really refined, beautiful piece of work. He is totally in command of his craft. This album is full of the love of rhythm and it already sounds classic.

ShowerOfKunstJun 1, 2005This is evolution, a record that has subtle references to his past work and looks to the future. There is no greater pleasure than seeing an artist develop and anyone who desires music that floats along in the background can stick to Lemon Jelly. Sublime

AdamJun 2, 2005I've had this disc for a couple-o-days and have dug it since the second listen. I like Rounds, but have mostly used it for pre-sleep hypnogogic journeys. Everything Ecstatic, on the other hand, is apartment cleaning music of the highest order -- it's fun and keeps you moving while leading your thoughts into unexpected places.

For the most part, Evertything Ecsatic succeeds, but occasionally Hebden strays from the path.

Q MagazineImmediately satisfying. [Jun 2005, p.120]

MojoIt's a noticeably urban record, an irritated rebuttal to the notion that dance music is dead. [Jun 2005, p.98]
