Critical reception
The New York Times wrote that "the sounds are swathed in reverberation or veiled by distortion; distant rumbles and swooshes compete for the foreground with drumbeats and bass lines, hovering chords and metallic clatter."[6] In 2015, Fact placed it at number 10 on the "50 Best Trip-Hop Albums of All Time" list.[1]
