Aphex Twin), Tom Jenkinson (Squarepusher), Mike Paradinas (ยต-Ziq), Chris Jeffs (Cylob), and the labels Rephlex and Warp," stated journalist Andrez Bergen in an article that appeared in Japan's Daily Yomiuri newspaper in 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words critical and/or reception:
“An art whose medium is language will always show a high degree of critical creativeness, for speech is itself a critique of life: it names, it characterizes, it passes judgment, in that it creates.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
