FilterWith nary a glitch or bloop in sight, the blend turns out as playful Sascha funk(e) a la Drei Auf Drei dipped in Postalesque lyrical pop bliss. [#21, p.100]
-
Some of the artist's best work to date.
-
The rare techno album that's worth digging into.
-
Mistake may be a solid, somewhat complex electronic music release, but its nerdy precision has the tendency to render the melancholic, brooding melodies somewhat impotent.
-
Alternative PressUnsurprisingly, he's at his best when he's melding heartfelt lyrics with otherworldly noise. [Sep 2006, p.230]
-
It's not quite focused enough to place among the best of his other work.
-
Under The RadarDespite the proficiency and accomplishment of the arrangements, the album is simply too understated, repetitive, and blandly written to do much more than hold your attention. [Summer 2006]
