    These minimalist songs are surprisingly and undeniably funky.
  2. Alternative Press

    You appreciate his delightful little melodies and quirky rhythmic tics more because you have to strain to hear 'em. [Aug 2003, p.110]

  3. The Wire

    Unlike a lot of electronica, the music never lapses into mere tastefulness. [#235, p.75]

  4. Almost Cool
    60
    It's a bit harsh of me to say that there's nothing interesting going on in Player, Player because that's certainly not the case. Instead, the problem seems to be with contructing the songs themselves.
