Iceman
The iceman, the eggman, and something wicked cometh. You can hear the pattering of tiny boots. Excuse me, are you one of us? Excuse me, are you one... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Bid's disaffected-yet-engaging vocals and slice-of-life lyrics remain compelling as ever. [No. 118, p.59]

    Quite possibly their most essential waxing since 1982’s irresistibly suave Eligible Bachelors.
  3. Throughout, singer Bid's smooth baritone paints intriguing vignettes ("He was the best thing that you've ever seen in Swansea", goes 'When I Get To Hollywood'), adding colour to an already rich album.

    There really are spaces everywhere, and most would be better served if they were filled with Monochrome Set albums.

    The band does what it does best, which is couch surreal oddity in unstoppable catchiness.

    The Monochrome Set may have never been destined for MTV rotation like some of those New Wave peers of theirs, but MTV itself effectively died a long time ago, while the Monochrome Set are still making highly enjoyable albums.

    Ultimately Spaces Everywhere is a record that sparkles with little hints of wit, unconventional beauty and musical verve, but they shine so brightly because of the mediocrity that surrounds them.
