Generally favorable reviews - based on 20 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The seventh album for the experimental band is promised to include many kinds of synthesizers.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 16 out of 20
  2. Negative: 0 out of 20
  1. After a few listens, the entirely synthetic remainder that is Supreme Balloon is not merely a relief but a delight. If anything, the limitation of having no limitations has revealed Matmos as more skilled, stylish, and sculptural here than on any of their past releases--not to mention versatile.
  2. In synthesizers, Matmos have found their hearts; through old Cluster records, they've created one of the most pleasant surprises of the year.
  3. The results remain defiantly out of the ordinary. [June 208, p.145]
