    Jenkins continues his adroitness at transforming disparate juxtapositions of R2-D2 blips and bloops, deep bass drops into sonic sculptures that are futuristically dense and engagingly hip-shaking. [No. 120, p.61]

    That remarkable square for detail is pedantic verging on obnoxious (charmingly so), but makes this his most captivating effort yet.

    Some of the music is at the most extreme end of Jenkinson’s output, yet remains zanily accessible.

    This is an album to file alongside Aphex Twin’s ‘Syro’: one-of-a-kind electronic artist returns reinvigorated and still way ahead of the game.

    It’s not for the faint hearted, and its point isn’t to make you smile. But if you’re up for the challenge Damogen Furies is a steaming black shot of adrenaline.

    Even if the attitude feels snarly and confrontational, the craftsmanship speaks of deep love and high-level musicality. [May 2015, p.81]

    Even on an album as wholly electronic-sounding as Damogen Furies, Jenkinson's musicality remains organic and responsive.

    What a thrill ride this is; even when the feeling of wheels rolling against the road becomes mundane, there’s always a series of twists and turns waiting ahead.

    With Damogen Furies, the results of his strange ways lead to moments of slack-jawed befuddlement as much as awestruck astonishment.

    Often tawdry and occasionally remarkable, Damogen Furies is a scattershot release, but one that's definitely worth exploring.

    Where Ufabulum felt like a garish souvenir from the performance built around it, Damogen Furies is more substantial and self-contained.

    It's undeniably god stuff and will please existing fans of the man's work but for an artist formerly synonymous with innovation, Damogen Furies digs its heels into well-trodden ground. [Apr - May 2015, p.89]
