Reviews:

"Degenerates and Enflame still bristle beautifully. Witts might have been as bilious and polemic as The Fall were, but he understood the majesty of Kraftwerk" (Q, 07/2003)

"Seemed to achieve the impossible, with The Passage becoming more poppy and more avant garde at the same time" (The Wire, 12/2003)

"A groundbreaking outfit, and few have attempted their complex, keyboards and drums dominated sound before or since. This is a thrillingly expanded reissue that still sounds ahead of much of the game today" (Whisperin' & Hollerin', 04/2003)
