"Possibly the best intellectually deconstructed funk record you'll hear this year." [Rock A Rolla]

"...a vital flow of angular energy and unpretentious swagger" [The Wire]

"There are dark, playful combinations right through Stop Machine" [Mojo]

"Stop Machine is a very convincing hybrid, bringing disparate influences together to form a lopsided fourth-world funk of the highest order." [Cyclic Defrost]

"...rest assured if you're prepared to open your mind and let Snorkel in then this could well be a 10 out of 10 album" [The 405]

"Stop Machine is a trippy, thumping masterwork sure to arrest attentive ears" [Music OMH]

"Experimental but funky fusions of Krautrock, Dub and Jazz from Slowfoot's dextrously versatile in-house band... ... Highly impressive stuff." [Boomkat]

"If mesmerising, beat laden, experimental, electronics are your thing, you’ll want to hear this" [Fred Perry Subculture]

"Highlights of the album are the unsettling, minimal drumbeats of ‘Edgars Hoover’ and the funky, hip hop influenced beat of ‘Dark Star’, but there’s never a dull moment on this album. ‘Stop Machine’ is well worth a few listens." [Live Music Scene]

"..‘Stop Machine’ sees the group delving deeper into more experimental territory as they continue to take on a highly creative approach with their music... ... an album that buzzes with activity, from its unique instrumentation to the brilliant way in which the percussion is explored throughout." [Shout4Music]

"Snorkel have created with this second record a rather enjoyable collection" [Milk Factory]

"This is not my usual bag, but in my head this is kinda what i want Tortoise to sound like. A Lee Perry / Can / Barry Adamson society-esque shunt of sweaty chimeric propulsion" [Cowsarejustfood]
