A little may go a long way with Telepathe, but there's enough variety here to reward repeated listening.

What they lack--excepting the surging Devil's Trident and Trilogy's brilliantly sinister, sub-bass-heavy narrative--are genuinely killer songs. If they could add more to their beguiling sonic invention, they would be the toast of their increasingly talent-packed neighbourhood.

Q MagazineTelepathe appear devoted to doing something utterly different, which cannot help but be exciting. [Feb 2009, p.116]

Dance Mother has a few bright spots: the para-diddling drums at the beginning of 'In Your Line' give it a real open-air sweep, the song itself is straightforward and affecting, and “Devil’s Trident” features buzzy synthesizers that open up a bracing, jittery mood. But most of the rest isn’t all that engrossing.
