    Gurnsey has pushed his ghost disco to its exhilarating limits. [Aug 2018, p.109]

    Physical boasts one hell of a range of tracks, some suited for dancing but all suited to telling Gurnsey's favourite story. With it he's created a new and independent take on house proving that Gabe Gurnsey is not just a member of Factory Floor but a solo artist in his own right and style.

    Physical provides ample proof that he can take the skills he's honed with that group [Factory Floor] in entertainingly different directions.

    To its credit, a lot of the tracks on Physical get to the point at a much earlier stage in their development than they would have done on a FF record, but the creeping intensity of tracks like “Two Different Ways” or “Dial Me In” is missed as a result.

    In an album where everything seems to be allowed, at first it may feel uneasy to understand but dissecting the elements is the key to understanding Physical.

    While Gurnsey still keeps his tunes all tight and trim like the most on-point DJ, Physical sketches out enough of the night life to convince us that anything could still happen.

    Not everything here is riveting: Gurnsey’s narrative arc is a little underdeveloped.
