Critical reception

Animal Magic received both mixed and positive reviews upon release. AllMusic gave the album a 2.5/5, stating that the album "slowly builds its way into a steady and enjoyable debut".[2] Pitchfork gave the album a score of 7.6/10, praising Bonobo (aka Simon Green) "for his smooth and calming sound, but detrimental use of previous Ninja Tune and Tru Thoughts records".[3] Even with this critical ire, Animal Magic to this day has a large and prominent fan-base, having launched a whole audience for Bonobo's future and present music releases.

gollark: "Encoding" is just converting the data into a different form in some way... in this case I guess the text on the pagers to POCSAG-something.
gollark: That's not what encoding means.
gollark: If it was actually encrypted I would need the keys, but it was just broadcast cleartext.
gollark: I just used `multimon-ng` or something, it was available on my Linux distro's package manager.
gollark: A what?
