"This album is mental. All sorts of vocal cut-ups, some political comment, all set over a collection of absolutely punishing beats. Forget what you think you've heard, this is 21st Century hip-hop."
"This just sneaks in before 2004. With each album Rjyan Kidwell is getting further from his 'IDM' roots and baring more of his soul. Quite short, but every track is astonishing."
"DJ/Rupture's Nettle project getting the remix treatment from the great and the good in his field. Every track is completely redefined by it's attendant remixer. Ace."
"Like 'Winter In The Belly Of A Snake', this is shunted out of the top 10 by it's superior brother. Longer then 'Maryland Mansions', but not as gratifying."
"Soundtrack of the year. Worth it for Nancy Sinatra's breathtaking 'Bang Bang' and Tomoyasu Hotei's Thundercats-ish 'Battle Without Honor or Humanity'."
"If this doesn't bring a tear to your eye you must be dead. Try and find the version that includes the DVD, 'cos the 3 videos on it will blow you away."
