    Giraffe hums with the kind of lush, emotive pop New Order were making circa Power, Corruption and Lies. [Mar 2003, p.94]
  2. This album will doubtlessly appeal to a broader audience than previous outings, but that's not to say it lacks the inventive, leftfield sensibility that has permeated Warren's other records.

    The lyrics are Echoboy's Achilles' heel.
  4. Impossible to pin down to a single genre or slavish style, Echoboy references everyone from David Bowie to Thomas Dolby to Roxy Music to nu electro, yet its sound, at times basking in cathedral drones, other times rent with oddball choirboy humming, is its own.

    More accessible than of old. [Mar 2003, p.108]
  6. A collection of skewed pop classics that draw as much on the contemporary R&B of Timbaland as they echo the darker side of New Order.
  7. His last two efforts weren’t as focused, but this time he’s got about half an album’s worth of quality work.
  8. Uncut

    The results are as charming as they are accessible. [Feb 2003, p.86]

    His fiercest, finest record. [Feb 2003, p.94]

    Don't be so cynical. Get out your arse @ see the light.
