№ 92 on The 250 Best Electronic Albums of the 21st Century

Feed-Forward sounds like techno with all the decorative surfaces sandblasted off. Sandwell District work with pulse, grain and dread so sparingly that the smallest adjustment feels suspiciously important. Nothing jumps out; the pressure simply keeps getting worse. 'Immolare' opens it three times in a row, first, main and final, before anything else happens.

№ 15 on The 10 Best Techno Albums

A collective delivering an album rather than a compilation, which was exactly the argument they were making.

№ 16 on The 10 Best Industrial and EBM Albums

A collective aesthetic delivered as an album. The industrial posture inherited by techno and done properly.
