-
A great dark post punk record. Musically, it reminds me of a blend of Wire (154), Magazine and The Sound. At least to my ears. -
An incredible album. I’ve always hoped that they would return to this level of experimentation. This pressing couldn’t possibly be better.
-
The remastering made recently by Blixa Sounds is not satisfying in my opinion. On CD version, the sound is very low.

The Tubeway Army meets Hawkwind. theres no other way to describe this. the "Gathering Dust" 12"ep is a perfect companion for this. but you should also search out 3 of the first 4 singles if you want to experience the absolute best. just dont waste your time with their first 45. its really bad. -
Criminally underrated post-punk/goth record. I finally came across a copy at a record show today for $20.00! -
If you like the gothic side of new wave hear this album. Nothing to do with their greatest success "I melt with you". ME were here capable to play a dynamic and danceble dark electronic music that will surprize you for how strong and fresh is at the same time
