  2. 8.0 |   Rave Magazine

    Ford and Lopatin’s métier is the kind of music that used to litter Amiga games, appear on advertisements, and act as filler in movies

  3. 8.0 |   DIY

    Somehow Ford & Lopatin have created a record that is exactly how a collaboration between them should sound
    Read Review

  4. 8.0 |   Tiny Mix Tapes

    Such a beast... a creation that is equal parts experimentation and familiarity, cheese sincerity, teen affect, cultural diagnostics, and a liberal streak of naïve charm

  5. 8.0 |   Spin

    Domo arigato, Mr. Lopatin, your disco fantasia rules
    Read Review

  6. 8.0 |   Uncut

    Read Review

  10. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    As enjoyable as Channel Pressure can be, it's difficult to take it in as anything more than a time capsule

  11. 7.0 |   Under The Radar

    If you're coming to Ford & Lopatin as an Oneohtrix Point Never fan (guilty), you might be shocked by how goofy the dark synth lord can get

  12. 7.0 |   No Ripcord

    It’s not one of the year’s best records, but it’s churned out a couple of its best songs
    Read Review

  13. 7.0 |   The Quietus

    Brims with ideas, often packing sound into every available corner of the mix
