  1. Tiny Mix Tapes
    80
    This CD is in itself a bold challenge to producers everywhere to step out from behind the laptop and explore the creative, spontaneous elements of live interaction.
  2. BBC collective
    80
    It’s clear that chemistry was in the air.
  3. Mojo
    60
    Occasionally self-indulgence threatens, but no matter; there is an undeniable musical hunger and pioneering spirit at work here. [Apr 2006, p.101]

  4. Under The Radar
    20
    If you're really into jazz (and I mean really) or are a Four Tet completist, this is for you; if not, I'd stay away. [#13, p.92]
