    They play out as fascinating (and funny) monologues in themselves. [Nov 2012, p.62]

    The overriding feeling is that this is a remarkable piece of self-indulgence rather than anything you would want to, I don't know, ever listen to. [Oct/Nov 2012, p.133]

    The [EP's] premise turns out to be much more interesting than the results.

    The music is repetitively tight and although not much more than a three-set EP, The Ganzfeld EP is a strong showing.

    While it is unlikely that many listeners will find this song [Just Waves] worth revisiting, the rest of the EP is strong, and recommended especially to those already familiar with the group.

    As with prior Matmos efforts, the ambition here is bold, both in the base concept and its execution.

    The three songs for The Ganzfeld EP manage to go all over the map in under half-an-hour.

    The duo has delivered something that is listenable and enjoyable while sustaining an overarching concept with great capability.
