"just a bloody perfect little record - all hail The Juan and the producing team (DFA - thank you!) for helping Juan to realize this new phase of his amazing career. Gives all the electroclash pretenders a firm smack in the face - this is the real deal - he knows the history of his medium - it's dance, it's funk, it's post-rock, it's cold and angular, hot and sweaty - it's everything you need."
Marvelous, original

"Varied, impeccably constructed record that encompasses house, disco, a little IDM, and of course a bit of electro. In the end though, it's completely its own animal, dancy and atmospheric at the same time.
Earlier guy had it right; it's pretty close to being perfect."
Pleasent...Plus Some.

"Well, I bought this on a guess. I had a feeling it was dark and funky, and it is. John makes each song glow with electric love, and yet each song is dark enough to make you feel at least a little dirty. To me, it has a a Cure like feel in that same way - dark, but always happy and complex. I danced alone to this CD, which is odd for me. It rips you a new one.
Track 3 is the big hitter in my eyes. If you don't know whether you like it or not after the first two songs, 3 will make your pelvis whip the sky.
Thank you. That is all."
It works
