Generally favorable reviews - based on 7 Critics What's this?

  • Summary: The follow-up to his June release "Ambivalence Avenue" features eight remixes and four new songs.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 6 out of 7
  2. Negative: 0 out of 7
  1. Lone, Clark, Eskmo, Keaver & Brause, and Wax Stag all have their way with Bibio's tracks and all add an even headier atmosphere to the already complex tracks.
  2. Bibio's Warp debut, Ambivalence Avenue, is one of the stealth albums of 2009, its pastoral psychedelia reminiscent of Super Furry Animals idly punting with Boards of Canada. [Jan 10, p. 118]
  3. Despite the added value of the remixes and the quality of the original tracks, The Apple and the Tooth remains a complementary piece - albeit one that's a compliment to Bibio's craft, too.
