  1. 10.0 |   The Skinny

    Captivating from start to finish, this is where the future of techno and its past meet in transcendant harmony

  2. 8.5 |   The Quietus

    It stands alongside Holden's The Inheritors as one of the finest techno albums of the year
    Read Review

  3. 8.0 |   Q

    Although the music is minimal, propulsive and built for clubs, Avery's formative years spent listening to rock and proto-electro lend the album a dynamic that suits headphone immersion. Print edition only

  4. 8.0 |   Mojo

    A compelling, club-friendly debut with crossover appeal to the headphone set. Print edition only

  5. 8.0 |   NME

    At a time when Avicii’s hillbilly-EDM mangle is seen as the cutting edge of dance music, Avery’s logic makes perfect sense

  7. 8.0 |   Time Out

    The MO is simple: no show-boating, no beard-stroking, just direct, economical dance music

  8. 8.0 |   Uncut

    This is a techno album that seldom sags. Print edition only

  10. 8.0 |   The List

    An album that goes some way to break down the divide between electronic music and everything else, Avery might have created that most old-fashioned sounding of things: a musical journey

  11. 7.2 |   Pitchfork

    The album feels decadent, like one-percenter techno: rave music made for the best systems, to be played by the most talented DJs, drawing only from the purest eras of British dance exceptionalism

  12. 7.0 |   Clash

    This album is half comprised of sumptuous, scintillating dancefloor bangers, but its other half is full of generic club tracks that bore with little bite

  13. 7.0 |   The Music

    While never as great as it could be, this is a very promising house debut
    Read Review

  14. 6.0 |   Loud And Quiet

    A darting, restless listen
