    It's wonderful that Green is still alive. But musically, really, go back and listen to Scritti's old stuff. He's lost it.

    The pristine, synth-heavy result certainly sounds worried over, sometimes to its detriment. [28 Jul 2006, p.67]

    Lyrically he's as pleasingly obtuse as ever. [Jul 2006, p.101]

    Even the ticking percussion and trilling synths can't hide the sheer melodic oddness of Gartside's songs. [3 Jun 2006, p.35]
