MagnetJun 13, 2012It's hard to get too hot and bothered. [No.88 p.55]
-
UncutJun 1, 2012For much of Majenta he seems content to lie back and think of Prince. [Jul 2012, p.71]
-
May 23, 2012Although Jimmy Edgar isn't the first (or best) to do neo-electro (Chromeo and DāM-FunK come to mind), Majenta shows that he might just be the most believable.
-
May 23, 2012Quite possibly represents Edgar's most full-blooded work yet.
-
May 23, 2012[The songs on Majenta] confirm Edgar's inimitable creative talents.
-
May 23, 2012[Majenta is] an album that brings the influence of Prince on his music to the fore. It works well, with a healthy funk quotient present throughout, going with some lyrics that might make a grown adult blush but which stop short of being too risque.
-
May 23, 2012Unfortunately, more than mediocre tracks or throaty sexual goofs, what does in Majenta is its scattershot nature. There's no flow to the way the album's sequenced, to the point where it seems purely arbitrary. Furthermore, Edgar seems so concerned about skipping between genres that he neglects to refine any one specific sound; even the strongest cuts rarely rise above "nice try."

May 23, 2012As difficult as it is to take Edgar seriously at times, so earnest is he about his sexualised sonic seercraft that resistance is futile. In short spurts, Majenta's kosmische perv-core satiates.
