It's all remarkably effective. In capturing "the ghost in the machine," Mirwais has made a most warm and humane album.
-
MixerUnrestrained by the limits of producing a radio-friendly album, Mirwais produced an excellent album that can be appreciated by both fans and critics of Madonna. [Apr 2001, p.92]
-
Mirwais lays down grooves that aren't even sensual; they're rambunctiously horny.
-
A collection of songs that are as clever and intelligently crafted as they are danceable.
-
For all its irrepressible sonic whimsy, Production also reveals quite a bit of unexpected depth.
-
Alternative PressFilled with laid-back, intelligent electronica equally suited to dancing and chilling, Production ultimately succeeds through its deft combination of strikingly disparate elements. [#153, p.79]
-
Production is a dance record, but Mirwais is no mere slave to the rhythm. While other artists keep the BPM pumped up, the songs here drift and simmer. "V.I. (The Last Words She Said Before Leaving," for example, creeps along at a funereal pace for more than six minutes and doesn't catch much of a beat until four minutes in.
-
Something of a mixed bag, "Production" teeters between grating aimlessness and uniquely dark, claustrophobically compressed runs through the Vocoder-happy lands of French house music.
