    A pothead's dream and a supremely-crafted set.

    An hour-long exploration of the group's first full-length work that is every bit as diverse as the artists chosen to work on it and as iron-dense and deeply bassocentric as the original.

    For all the ups and downs, this collection fulfills Martin's goal of continuing the conversation.

    And yet all these reworks and revisions stay in the general vicinity of the original album's tone of massive yet starkly open spaces, adding a few new facets but always staying close to the fine line Waiting for You treaded between bleak and euphoric.

    Much like its musical parent, Without You effortlessly inhales and exhales strands of musical influence past, present and future.

    A stunning example of the intermingling of bodies, both sonic and artistic.

    Here, leading lights of electronic music remix King Midas Sound's underrated debut album to striking effect.

    Just like the great dub albums of the past, this is one that will provoke revisits to the original. [Jan 2012, p.67]

    Despite appearances from the likes of Mala, dBridge, Flying Lotus, Gang Gang Dance, and Cooly G, King Midas Sound's collection of Waiting for You remixes largely feels uneven and half-baked.
