"Dude. It's gorgeous. It's your greatest masterpiece yet. Complex and saturated like a multi colour snow storm. Reminds me of some of my favourite bands like Pendulum and Freestylers."
- Adam MacKay Smith a.k.a. Johnny Canuck
"Lex Plexus is one of my fave artists and has been for a long time. It's hard to believe that I used to enjoy these amazing beats and musical adventures on cassette back when CDs were just emerging. This is such incredible, dimensional, vertiginous, fulfilling and amazing music. I chose 'Universal Break' as my favorite track because it reminds me of Sean Luciw's 'Sugar Shark'. And that brings back a lot of very fun memories."
- Anthony Metivier
"Your album is really good. The vibe / textures reminds me of Eat Static (I've got all their albums) with subtle compositional complexities similar to Chris Clark."
- Adam Pfeffer, anitimi.com
"Loved it. Been listening to it in the car, tripping along!"
- Penny Bunz
"It's really good! I mean, it's no 'Sugar Shark', but you know.... ;) Sure sounds good! Track 5 is great. It reminds of a twisted sci-fi score. Images of Running Man, and a few others..."
- Kris Ruston
"Already cranked the album via bandcamp this morning. Sounded great and still has that classic Lex sound. Congrats. Thank you for putting in the time to continue creating awesome music."
- Trevor Mason
"The movie industry needs to hire you for their background music. You'd make a killing!"
- Melody S.
"...wouldn't be out of place in Starcraft II or Command and Conquer 3."
- Nix N.
"...you are definitely THE MOST AVANT GARDE guy around..."
- D. Ian S.

Enjoy a tasty space journey through a vast techno universe! The Lex Plexus album "Stellar Trip" will take you there, so "all aboard" and enjoy the scenery. The 13-song collection carries the listener outward from the earthly through the alien, bringing an uncommon level of lush sonic variety.
The album starts with the bustling sounds of an interstellar airport... the sound-ship jostles its way out of the stratosphere and settles into an easygoing exit towards the great wide open. The second track reminisces on the cold shivery sadness of a disappearing summer, only to quickly heat things up with some faster rhythms and a sentimental wave goodbye. By the third track, the emptiness of space can really be felt. The rest of the album is a colourful and nebulous journey through the twists and turns of inner space, with many beautiful moments and the occasional gravitational torment. Spooky serenity is punctuated by etheric robot voices. Time is dilated in both directions at once. The final destination is a beautiful world like no other.
Fans of 808 State, Orbital, The Orb, Uberzone, u-ziq, Squarepusher, Aphex Twin and Photek will appreciate this Lex Plexus tour-de-space.
