  • Summary: The second full-length from the Peter Hook-led band features a Bernard Sumner-esque lead vocalist and a sound that could be mistaken for New Order in places.

  1. New Musical Express (NME)

    A truly lovely thing to behold; a pretence-free, summery shimmy through pop's enchanted garden, with tear-tugging Bacharachy bits and choruses of angels and everything.
  2. All Music Guide
    80
    One of the best New Order albums they never made.
  3. Select

    Another case of 'Technique' revisted. Again. (Oct 2000, p.108)

    Truely better than the first Monaco release. It has that old New Order feel to it that New Order seemed to get away from. If you liked Electronic you will like this. It does not sound like Peter's old band Revenge. I played this disc repeatedly on long car trips.… Expand
