    Total brilliance from beginning to end !!. They have really excelled with this release with much of the instrumentation arking back to their Black Dog days ... This is a must not miss if you prefer your music complicated and melodic..

    Buy 'Double Figure' their best album by far. Spokes has the same unmelodic melodies as their album 'Not for threes' although being more mature, somehow has a certain flatness.

    Their best in years. [Dec 2003, p.118]

    And while it is a bit less corrugated than some of its early work, it packs a bite that's far more venomous than any of the sound-alikes that continue to nip at Plaid's heels.

    A shadowy affair, overflowing with fractured breaks, amoebic bass and emotive, medieval chords. [Nov 2003, p.120]
