It's bold, maybe even avant-garde, but from beginning to end it's raucous, barnstorming, chair-dancing fun.- Resident Advisor

Huxley's pop forays might not be for everyone, but there's plenty on Blurred to appeal to both his underground acolytes and, perhaps, a new crop of fans as well.- Resident Advisor

Rundell and Goddard are still crafting warm, well-balanced tracks, but the parts that reveal their personalities—namely the lyrics--are often awkward and strangely didactic.- Resident Advisor

Wonder Where We Land pads its vocal tracks with plush instrumentals, morsels of melody that would have been strong points if they weren't so half-baked.- Resident Advisor

What she's lost in subtlety she's gained in star power, off the back of two years of touring and a slow-burning hit album.- Resident Advisor

With In A Dream, Maclean and Whang have crafted some of most expertly tuneful music of their career.- Resident Advisor

The whole album bleeds into one magnificent mess, thanks in part to some incredibly short track times, but also to the nature of the music itself.- Resident Advisor

Amid all this diversity, Abaporu is a remarkably steady work, with Boratto's consistent sound palette and knack for melody running strong throughout.- Resident Advisor

With KOCH, Gamble has found a canvas that's just the right size to fit everything on, to hold the whole beautiful thing up at once.- Resident Advisor

These are synthetic sounds that have a sense of natural decay built into them, but Prudhomme unleashes them with such carefully built momentum, the music can't help but feel optimistic.- Resident Advisor

Now, in 2014, Vessel has given us one of the year's best electronic music albums, and it's hardly electronic.- Resident Advisor

Listening to Imagin is like pulling on a old pair of trainers: comfortable, familiar and, ultimately, rather boring.- Resident Advisor

For what is essentially a composite of three "live" performances (all produced on a deliberately limited set-up of two modular synths, two sequencers and a mixer), Whorl is surprisingly cohesive.- Resident Advisor

There's a near-perfect EP buried in here somewhere, and an inventive musical personality waiting to burst out, but Moiré's debut album does a better job of showcasing his potential than realizing it.- Resident Advisor

Whyte has made an LP that rises and falls gracefully, proving that even his brand of everything-all-the-time dance music has room for nuance and subtlety.- Resident Advisor

In the end, LP1 is probably the most singular pop album of the year. It's testament to how emotionally affecting one person's realised vision can be.- Resident Advisor

As expected, Hyperdub's output retains a pretty sophisticated tone even when it's dealing in pop hooks and party tracks.- Resident Advisor

Taking touchstones from familiar genres and refiguring them into something completely new, it's like a microcosm of the label as a whole.- Resident Advisor

It's a fascinating mosaic in which every tiny detail lends colour and depth to a work of real, high-minded seriousness.- Resident Advisor

Imperfect as it is, International is proof that the group's future is limited only by the force of its wanderlust.- Resident Advisor

The whole album sounds like it was mastered from a chewed-up old C90--it's post-chillwave music, busy and glitchy, but as relaxing as a soak in a warm bath.- Resident Advisor

These songs still aim to elicit an emotion from you, and they're still not particularly subtle. The difference is you don't feel like it's being shoved down your throat.- Resident Advisor
