This ambitious effort shows Mo' Wax label guru James Lavelle taking on the role of director, orchestrating a grand design, and translating it musically with the talents of studio muse DJ Shadow. Most accustomed to working solo, Shadow demonstrates here his adaptable talents in collaborating with others, whether it's on the powerful "Rabbit in Your Headlights," a track recorded in 1996 in which Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke eerily foreshadows his later success, or in "Guns Blazing (Drums of Death Pt. 1)," the album's only traditional hip-hop track, which pairs annihilating beats to Kool G Rap's equally lethal vocal delivery. Psyence Fiction, which also features contributions from Beastie Boy Mike D and the Verve's Richard Ashcroft, is certainly one of the most epic and eclectic records to emerge from the electronic world this year, one that should not only further the efforts to bridge the musical segregation that exists among the hip-hop, alternative, and electronic camps but also introduce these cultures to a few new surprises of its own. --Tamara Palmer

 very disappointing October 16, 2008
N. Putintsev (Toronto, Canada)
If you want a good UNKLE CD, you're better off getting War Stories. I heard War Stories first, and I loved it, but it was wrong of me to assume their earlier work would be just as good, because this CD, in my opinion, is by far inferior. The music is bad, the mixing of genres sounds bad, the vocals also aren't as good as in War Stories. Two stars for some good but rare moments and some nice beats
ITS IGHT ! October 14, 2008

I have had this album for a number of years now and it continues to get better as time goes by. At first it comes off as a jumbeled mess. A mixture of music that has no business being on the same album. Then you ask yourself, "Why not?". Once you've cleared that thought process it all comes together.
The tracks are all bring something to the table (with the exception of Chaos). DJ Shadow and Jame Lavelle are genuises. They have an uncanny ability to bring out the best in artists. Unfortunately, UNKLE as we know it has never come together for a follow up album. And thats a shame because the potential of these two gentlemen working together is limitless. UNKLE has moved on to a more techno / rock sound under James Lavelle. Although good in their respect, it doesn't come near the quality of this album.
A must own.
Buen disco February 12, 2008

i'm giving this album three stars only because of the fact i've actually purchased it three different times now. the only reason i bought this album the first time was for "Rabbit In Your Headlights" the song masterfully done with the chilling voice of Thom Yorke. the album then went on to impress me in other songs, but to be completely honest, i only listened to like 4 of the songs with any regularity and i have only purchased the album 3 times now because i keep losing my copy of "Rabbit In Your Headlights". i really thought the album was overhyped but was worth buying three times for the only real treasure on the album.. "Rabbit In Your Headlights"... i dont download songs i am a collector thats why i keep buying it..lol
