These often magnificent and unsettling bouts of heavy electronica have the ability to disarm you, and the way Bondy uses modular synthesis to express eerie melodies is masterful. Beneath the action and tumult are powerful and considered compositions and as a result, Servitude truly sounds like nothing else." (Kings & Creatures)
