    I love this album. Lots of simple bass guitar, beats that flirt with techno and brilliant lyrics. Each song has layer upon layer of sound and is really pleasing to listen to. The almost demo quality is definitely a positive in this case. A brilliantly rounded album that beats the majority of established bands hands down.

    Nice debut record from Tom Vek - in essence it's a rock record but on the alterternative side. It's got a bit more going on than your usual drums and guitar combo, Vek has a bit more to him than that. There are some very good tracks on it - really like the album opener "C-C". It's a nice length as well - you never really get bored at any point during the record.

Enjoyable and recommended.… Expand

    Most of Tom Vek’s influences are at least fifteen years old and easily triangulated. But he’s unencumbered by nostalgia. We Have Sound is so difficult to isolate from Vek’s ass-backwards charisma, I wonder if the man might be a visionary.

    Even if you do persevere it's likely you'll find pleasure and irritation in equal measure, but at least he always provokes a reaction - a quality never to be underestimated.

    A good debut, if strangely restrained. [2 Apr 2005, p.50]
