Reviews3 Stars Out of 5-"They Galvanised a Wave of Indie/Cutie Followers...", "This masterwork was only possible due to hardscrabble instrumentation and the hum of the analog recording equipment they used.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Coolly minimal and warmly human, all understated guitar and bass lines, chintzy organ riffs, and cheap-drum-machine click tracks..", 4 stars out of 5 - Alison Statton's little-girl-lost vocals and the Moxhams' sparse, spooky twangs still sound purposefully pure.", "Hints of reggae, bossa nova, and surf music peek through YMG's skeletal arrangements, but their originals are so succinct they elude easy categorization.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Their one album, COLOSSAL YOUTH, was a hit in the U.K. post-punk scene of the 1980s, but its cult has just kept growing over the years.", "YMG’s only album was a sustained exercise in minimalist brio and an idiosyncratic jewel in Rough Trade’s pre-Smiths crown.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "With shadows of Eno and Kraftwerk in their sound, which pitted the fluid bass and spiky guitar of brothers Phil and Stuart Moxham against the clicking pulse of a homemade drum machine."
