Reviews:

"Here was a band that had a vision all of its own without any help from the rest of the pack. Too bad this fine group ended up in the casualty ward" (NME, 09/1990)

"The instrumentals included here are some of the best jams this reviewer has ever heard, from a band retrospectively cordoned off into the English new wave scene" (Ear Magazine, 1990)

"Revealing a psychic bond with Mission of Burma, New Order and JG Ballard... a band that became really vital in many ways at their final hours" (The Blow Up, 02/2001)

"Powerful yet still mysterious in concert. The Plateau Phase is arguably the standout number, it's driving, rampaging post-punk power simply stunning" (All Music Guide)
