• “The Ex Machina OST is one for the ages and is done with a soul chilling aesthetic in electro-acoustic music…This is a must own item if you are into collecting soundtracks. It’s debatable if there will be a more important soundtrack for music culture this year.”
  Sound Colour Vibration
• “The superb and atmospheric 20 track score welds electronic and organic sounds, spanning the dark and thrilling, as well as the uplifting.”
  Flavorpill
• “This score is a perfect example of something that enhances the film but is also just as effective if you have not yet managed to see it. These are not 30 second – one minute long cues that flit past you at a rapid pace, this is an album in the purest sense. Tracks are allowed to develop and a narrative is created. Storytelling of the highest order. In a time when people are already announcing that the album of the year has been released (come on now, stop it please) Ex-Machina will most certainly be up there when the votes are counted. Sensational. 9/10.”
  Louder Than War
• “Salisbury and Barrow successfully envisioned the film to pair with a perpetually tense soundtrack that hisses, pulsates and drones….And that is what Ex Machina does so well, fostering little pockets of mystery that grow into threatening omens. In this way, Ex Machina is unforgiving; even after an ephemeral ambush of thick, throbbing synths and chilling scrapes simmers down to a quiet glow, the thrill of its return is ominously felt.”
