   Great album, love the electronic sound of the album, very wide.
   Sure it's all been done before but who cares, what's good is good.
   Loved Primary Colours also but i think this album is more in balance....… Expand

   The third album from Badwan and co. finds them continuing the purple patch they hit with primary colours, though mostly abandoning the Geoff Barrow/motorik influences of that album for a self-produced sound akin to a poppier My Bloody Valentine. Swathes of ectastic noise anchored by nimble drumming and simple but effective bass work characterize the record, with Badwan's richer, deeper voice becoming more of an asset every album. Definitely recommended for fans of shoegaze or quality 80s pop- and Simple Minds.....

This album sees the band still making good music, but not the kind that I like as well as in Primary Colours.… Expand

As far as the album is concerned - simply a cacophony of synthesizers fused into some sort of bland ambient goop that could pass off as any of the countless bands attempting the same tired, post-post-punk/ darkwave/ post-new wave â… Expand
