    The album is quite possibly his most stirring and accomplished work to date.

    The wait has been worth it. [Oct 2011, p.98]

    Richard Feerless's far-ranging and impeccable influences are combined to create something new and exhilarating. [Oct 2011, p.131]

    It's clear that Trans Love Energies has been a long time in the making, but Fearless has managed to make it sound like a fresh piece of work.

    With Trans Love Energies, Death in Vegas do well to avoid such pitfalls, instead creating an album that is musically and thematically filled with space, both roomy and outer.

    The limitations that define Trans-Love Energies are just as readily apparent here as they are on any other Death in Vegas effort, but by buckling down on their sound and ridding the album of outside distractions, they come up with an enjoyably pure synthesis of what they've accomplished so far as a group.

    Trans-Love Energies is a fine return and a worthy addition to the catalogue of a band whose path has become more of a fantastic voyage than a standard career.

    Trans-Love Energies is a master-class of pulsating euphoric electronica from one of the dance fraternity's true pioneers.

    Fearless himself assumes vocal duties, although Austra's Katie Stelmanis is also occasionally employed to help the music transcend the dank analogue dungeon of its creation.

    This is a vital reimagining, not a retro homage. [Dec 2011, p.81]

    As it stands, Trans-Love Energies is too archival.

    Seven years on from Satan's Circus, Death in Vegas' prime mover Richard Fearless doesn't seem to have moved on at all.
