    Ufabulum shows Squarepusher pushing forward some of his leanest, most unfurled compositions to date.

    Ufabulum easily stands as his strongest and most consistent work since Go Plastic.

    Ufabulum abandons Squarepusher's usual 1 : 1 ratio of electronic : jazz in favor of 1 : 1, electronic : space adventure.

    Ufabulum is perhaps not a terrible album in any respect, but at the same time it simply is an incredibly boring one.
