    Musical Pop Art has seldom been as good. [Apr 2015, p.88]

    [Neil Arthur] is still in strong voice, his spare, pop-savvy synths tracks are a fitting canvas for his absurdist, trenchant narratives. [Apr 2015, p.97]

    Semi Detached is stuffed with perverse gear such as acid shanty "Deep In The Mine." [May 2015, p.71]

    Semi Detached is sincere in its distrust, distaste, and ire, and by the time "Bloody Hell Fire" underlines it all as a dour closer, the album winds up a worthy companion for bad days or chucking it all.

    If you fancy a slightly off centre alternative to the mass appeal of more prominent electronic bands, despite a few wobbly bits here and there, then you won’t go far wrong with giving this latest collection a chance.

    Plenty for 80s collectors to appreciate, then, but this deserves a wider hearing.
