"His juddering drums and cone-toasting bass frequencies are dispensed with more clarity and crispness than ever, while the swarming ambient FX are in full effect, never quite overpowering Dis Fig. Only on the closing "End in Blue" does the voice of Martin's partner dissipate, and once it does, it's already missed, prompting an impulsive rewind".

"The lead review" - "Kevin Martin has always acknowledged his debt to dub music, and to the Jamaican engineers who first pioneered the sound. Early dub records were in many ways about pushing outwards, creating new and unusual sonic spaces and orienting Jamaican music in a more cosmic direction. Martin's releases, by contrast, have tended to use those techniques and turn them inwards, amplifying the feelings of angst and aggression that can be all too pervasive in urban environments such as London, which was long Martin's base before he relocated to Berlin".
