Dec 16, 2013Realistically, Alternate/Endings is not for everyone, but anyone who's intrigued by the dark and unconventional side of things--or thinks that jungle needs a new platform--will devour this album.

Q MagazineFeb 14, 2014It's not as obviously retro as, say, techno DJ Paul Woolford's recent Special request project, but there are similar flashbacks to the darker end of '90s drum 'n' bass. [Mar 2014, p.108]

UncutFeb 3, 2014[The album] fires out volleys of convincing Metalheadz-style jungle breakbeats, embedded in brooding sound collages apparently influenced by Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood. [Mar 2014, p.71]

Dec 16, 2013Alternate/Endings is never a relaxing listen; when the breakneck pace drops, it’s only replaced by an unsettling calm, and one that doesn’t last very long.

Dec 16, 2013Alternate/Endings succeeds in leaving you both exhausted and anxious for more.
-
Jan 17, 2014Alternate/Endings is tempting, smart, and raw enough to make me wish he'd set up camp somewhere more permanent.
-
Feb 10, 2014Clocking in at 61 minutes, Alternate/Endings haphazardly splices together twelve breath-stealing drum & bass tracks recorded throughout 2012 and 2013; the result is more a tasting menu than an actual statement.

Dec 16, 2013Unfortunately, the bass lines (all played by Mars Volta’s Juan Alderete) never quite capture the rubbery wobble of the era he’s trying to reference.
