    This is machine music for a machine-ruled future made by someone who truly loves machines.

    There’s no shortage of potential DJ weaponry on Homesick, but what makes the album truly impressive are the cuts where Matrixxman gets out of his presumed comfort zone and steps away from the club.

    The album offers a fresh perspective on minimal techno, keeping things energetic and more than a little bit apprehensive.

    With Homesick, Matrixxman has at last found a depth of exploration and expression that stands up to the ideas so visibly floating around the edges of his work.

    Homesick is not quite a concept album, but there's a ghost of a narrative visible in the record's bookending tracks.

    It can arrest large scale arenas, and Matrixxman's Swiss Army Knife game is indisputable, though it's often used as a plot twist that's not necessarily relatable to the original story.

    Homesick is a rocky album with songs stretching too long for their same-sound focuses.
