MixerOne of the year's best drum 'n' bass albums. [Dec 2002, p.74]
-
UrbTouching Down evokes the unique funk sensibilities that made his seminal V Records and Full Cycle tracks so damn fresh, while giving you the sense that England's Bristolian isn't returning to anything, since he never left it behind to begin with. [Dec 2002, p.87]

Entertainment WeeklyBasic yet exquisite, like perfectly cooked eggs. [Listen 2 This supplement, Nov 2002, p.14]
-
Touching Down is a fluid set that moves from track to track with little or no delineation. As a result, the album is, at times, redundant.
-
SpinSize's fuzzy, string-laden bass bombs seem a tad sober. [Dec 2002, p.141]
-
The album simply powers its way through 16 tracks of seamlessly mixed high-velocity drum'n'bass.

Roni Size's new album is vapid, boring and uniform.
