    Providence marks a muscular new path for Fake, but he sounds as singular as always.

    Although the spiritual undertone (providence meaning ‘divine guidance’) feels somewhat overdone, Fake has created a truly impressive release--managing to weave together diverse and eclectic sounds into a cohesive whole.

    Fake has managed to create a distinctive album that sounds little like what he has done before. In many respects, it sounds more flexible as it constantly evolves and shapeshifts.

    It's a daring album, and in its best moments, the listener gets a sense of how fulfilling and soul-cleansing its production must have been.

    Providence is a jittery robot trip-out, but it’s full of juicy strangeness that will find favour with both fans of both techno and oddball electronica.

    His influences--Orbital, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada--surface at various points, but he pays off the debts with thoughtfulness and skill.
  7. 60
    While Providence is by no means a failure or throwaway LP, as a body of work, it doesn't quite keep you enthralled and, more than often, leaves you grimacing at the cacophony of, at times, irritating sound that's pummelling your eardrums.
