    Surprising as it may be, coming from masters of the quick-cut DJ collage, The Search Engine is a journey worth taking from beginning to end, uninterrupted.

    The patchwork of Orb-like sonic tapestries and guest vocals by some uncharacteristically gnarly rock veterans is not hugely original, but still manages to engage. [Feb 2012, p.84]

    Ninth electronic project of DJ Food - "The Search Engine" is an unequal product in the terms of quality. While the first tracks bring in the mood, that is - "All Covered In Darkness (Pt. 1)", "GIANT featuring Matt Johnson", insomuch industrial "Intermission A New Language", which precedes nice rock & hip-hop "The Hoak Illectrik feat. Natural Self ", D'n'B - "Sentinel (Shadow Guard) feat DK" and "Prey featuring JG Thirlwell" are the last compositions worthy your attention. The second half of the album clearly differs from the level of its predecessors.… Expand
