"...one of the most extraordinary pieces of music I've heard in a long time"
–Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC Radio 1 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/maryannehobbs/)
"It is a fine collection of abstract electronics, broken beats, dark vocal pop and deep echoey Dubstep influences. 'Tasty' will appeal to fans of French electro pop artist Colder, with its metronomic beats and spoken word vocal styles. 'Alea' is very nice Dubstep influenced instrumental track (as played by Mary Anne Hobbs) which takes its cues from Shackleton's work. Overall the album is a dark brooding set of abstract electronica that deserves to be heard by the greater electronic community out there."
"weirdo electronic music, drawing from ambient, 2-step, and drone textures."
–RCRD LBL (http://www.rcrdlbl.com/)
"... with changing rhythms and overall dynamics (particularly true for "2 hands", with its complete change of mood - from deep pad atmospherics through to the unconventional juxtaposition of light-hearted snares and rimshot percussion), and even the occasional vocal track thrown in (like "Tasty", ... or "Precipis", my personal choice for best track on the album)"

"L'ascenseur ...makes dubbed out beats that sound a little like Snooze in places and Colder in others."
