  1. Exquisite Corpse is a near perfect blend of the densely packed, sample heavy, nearly symphonic electronica and off-kilter hip-hop that the last three albums have featured.
  2. Q Magazine

    Conjures a magical, cut'n'paste dimension where genteel lounge sways to disembodied voices, clicks and bleeps. [Apr 2005, p.126]
  3. The Wire
    70
    The slippery polyrhythmic music is a difficult terrain for MCs to conquer. [#253, p.57]
  4. The 90 degree turns between tracks are endearing, like a cool mix-tape -- not cause for head scratching and folded arms.
  5. Exquisite Corpse does little to expand upon Daedelus’ aesthetic; it does, however, explore the hip-hop direction that he’s been moving towards in his collaborative work more thoroughly than any of his previous efforts.
  6. Mojo
    70
    Reveals another eclectic, kaleidoscopic world. [May 2005, p.106]
  7. Urb

    It drifts like trade winds, which is good for followers and merely intriguing to the casual listener. [May 2005, p.84]

    although i prefer his earlier work, this ranks among the best electronica albums of the year.
