Pitchfork: Track Review

"Toronto psych-tronic duo Madrid don't so much produce music as let it percolate-- the sounds drip and ripple until the cumulative effect is ocean-sized. Their heady electro-pop is indicative of a band that's got one foot on the dancefloor and the other in the chill-out room"



Spinner.com: Track Review

"Instead of the usual frenetic big-beat rush that mars the climax of many a decent electro tune, MADRID's left-field approach to song structure sees them maintain an ebb and flow throughout before closing on an almost trance-like note."



Hero Hill: Track Review

"Reply (To Everyone): as you hear the words "I'm not living life like it's over" repeat over and over and you start to embrace the organic elements that dull the edge of the house-y beat, you realize this 6-minute gem is more precious than it has any right to be."



BBC: Album Review

"You could almost say that this is the indie record that Boards Of Canada never made. It's that good. Don't miss it."



Noise Porn: Review

"The musical leviathan of Toronto serves up even more musical offerings with MADRID – what’s going on over there? Are kids spoonfed magic melodic water or do their parents play them synth riffs in their sleep?"



EYE Weekly: Live Review

"Kraftwerk comes to mind as the rest of the set is steeped in alternating analog riffs and electro melodies, from the synth- and bass-heavy “BTA United,” to “Killing Time Blues” and their last song of the night, “Freeway,” whose psychedelic guitar recalls The Cure’s “Let’s Go To Bed” upbeat fun."



24Hrs Newspaper: Review

"The boys have seemed to have craft a sound of their own, collaborating with German producer, Ulrich Schnauss who's credited for bringing 90's shoegaze to electronica."



Montreal Gazette Review

"It's truly amazing when electronic music sounds organic and alive, and Madrid, like Caribou and M83, simply ooze this vibe."

saw you before M83 in Toronto. Great set.
Questions: Are "first message" and "original message" the same thing? and what was the name of the song you opened with?
