Press Reviews
7 out of 10 - "...Experimental and brave... Alternative Press (5/02, p.78)
...Murky electronic grooves lurch forward llike industrial bilge through a junkyard....Their depth-of-field approach is abstract but has just enough focus to sustain clarity..." - Rating: B+ Entertainment Weekly (3/22/02, p.110)
...A rare 2nd album that matches a brilliant debut... Magnet (6-7/02, p.76)
Ranked #16 in Mojo's "Best Albums of 2002 Mojo (1/03, p.75)
...66 minutes of pure tones, pensive clanks and chopped-up nature film commentaries... Mojo (April 2002, p.112)
9 out of 10 - "...Easily the electronic album of the year....Deliciously saturated with the recurring motifs which have marked them out as an individual voice in electronic music...a meeting of the natural with the digital, and here it's eerier than ever before... NME (2/16/02, p.39)
4 out of 5 stars - "...A labyrinth of melodic and textural twists that enthrals rather than assaults... Q (4/02, p.110)
3 stars out of 5 - "...A lovely, strangely comforting collection of electronic introspection, mood and shadow. Rolling Stone (4/11/02, p.132)
8 out of 10 - "...The Scottish duo favors smudgy, just slightly out-of-tune analog synth tones evocative of faded home movies and washed-out photographs....a thoroughly satisfying album... Spin (May 2002, p.120-122)
Ranked #22 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "...An antidote to the ongoing chill-out fad... Uncut (1/03, p.95)
