    The album feels like paten's mostly mechanically calculated and precise output to date. [Sep 2016, p.59]

    The borrowing of in-house trap elements is neither crass nor exploitative: it is rather a seeming extension of the communicative nature of patten’s project.

    While ψ certainly isn't for everyone, it's nonetheless an important album that strives to get us to think outside the boom box.

    As with any patten release, it takes a few listens to wrap your head around what they're doing, but taking the effort to decode their work proves to be incredibly rewarding.

    Nothing nosebleedy in its warm, evocative patchwork. [Oct 2016, p.100]

    Overall, Ψ will satisfy you if you’re a fan of the genre (especially if you’re waiting for the next AFX or Squarepusher release).

    Patten’s third release is a whistle-stop tour of the UK’s hardcore continuum, never pausing long enough to get bored.

    Ψ cleverly returns to the skewed body music on patten's first album, which nearly offsets the tangle of blurred gestures and garbled theorizing.

    Psi o Ψ es uno de los discos mas completos del 2016, me encantan los beats y esa sincronia que tiene todo el disco en general.
