Cyborg, Data Memory. Appears Unplayed! “Starting With The Fragmented Assault Of "TV As Eyes," Which Rapidly Descends Into Heavily Treated Conversational Snippets From TV And Deep, Droning Keyboards, Half Machine Sounds Like A Weird Broadcast From Thousand Of Miles Away Where Rock Is Treated As An Exotic Musical Form. Creed Fully Gets To Shine Here, His Pitched-Up/Pitched-Down Guitars As Good An Example Of Psychedelic Assault As Anything. Sprawled All Over The Beeps And Murmurs Of The Songs, Not To Mention Edge's Still Self-Created Drumming And Iggyish Vocal Interjections, It Makes Everything Sound Utterly Disturbed. If Not As Obsessed With Tempo Shifts And Full Oddity As, Say, Faust, Half Machine Is Still Pretty Close To That Band's Level Of Krautrock Playfulness And Explosion.” Ned Raggett, All Music.
