Animal Magic is the debut studio album by British electronic music artist Bonobo, originally released in 2000 on Tru Thoughts and re-released in 2001 by Ninja Tune.
All songs were mixed by Bonobo (Simon Green).
Animal Magic received both mixed and positive reviews upon release. AllMusic gave the album a 2.5/5, stating that "the album at first is repulsive and repetitive, but slowly builds its way into a steady and enjoyable debut".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". 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.
