    Nice dark atmosphere throughout with some spine tingling moments make for a disturbed 60 odd minute journey. Not the sort of stuff to motivate or lift your spirits but still damn tidy to listen too... Been into his stuff for years it seems and whilst i do like a little more melody in his stuff this is certain to please all his fans !!

    Sure, he's great at using a 909, but he's already progressed past the music he's made with Closer, and much of the time it feels like falling back on old habit for lack of new ideas.

    What's new? High pitch frequencies; cell phone samples; the vocoded & pitched-down techno-poetry; a clean aesthetic from DE9 era running roughshod over a dark palette; and the fact that it sounds utterly different to his previous material, despite the references.

    His avant-electro minimalism can get pretty vacant--to the point where you may not be able to tell it's on. [Jan 2004, p.100]
