Physical

"The ambiguity makes this last meditation work - that 'success' on the dance floor, whether that's outside or inside the sound booth, might always lie just outside of what you can define or control. And ultimately, while Gurnsey still keeps his tunes all tight and trim like the most on-point DJ, Physical sketches out enough of the night life to convince us that anything could still happen".

"The paranoid soundscapes, relentless beats and terrifying disembodied vocals one might associate with Gurnsey's collaborative work are, if anything, amped up on this release. Sure, there's not much approaching the monolithic length of Factory Floor's "Two Different Ways", but not a single track on Physical is what one would describe as being "succinct". They just reach the main theme or groove faster, so the main `body' of the track bangs around your head for longer".

"Not everything here is riveting: Gurnsey's narrative arc is a little underdeveloped. Unlike your average dour beatmonger, however, Gurnsey has bags full of hooks. Heard a couple of times, Ultra Clear Sound's refrain - "Crystal/ In the algorithm" - is hard to dislodge".
