Reviews"...Continues his sonic adventure...mixing zero-gravity beats...with deeply dubby Chicago house....An album of supreme control...", 8 out of 10 - "...May be his best record yet....Not only an ascetic blend of house and jungle; it's also an ingenious fusion of mathematically cool beats and desperately human heat...", 8 out of 10 - "...An album steeped in bleep-techno aesthetics and shaped by the irresistible groove of ancient Chicago house....pushing drum'n'bass far beyond its self-imposed restrictions...", 3 out of 5 - "...Rolling bass&drum gems....a sprawling record full of bizarre turns turning into frothy UK garage house and drawling Massive Attack-ish downtempo cuts...", 3 Out of 5-"...A Mixture of Old Skool Vibes over Slow Breaks and Sparse Deep House Numbers...", 4 out of 5 - "...Joins the dots between house, techno and hip-hop in a truly original, compelling and often spellbinding manner...", "...A Complex and Unique Collection of Futuristic Electronic Music...", "...Excellent....Not drum'n'bass at all.
