Reviews"...the perfect soundtrack for a post-apocalyptic society....an eclectic mix of trancey soundscapes, electronic wizardry and scary found sounds....There's no better music for creeping through cyberspace.", 3 Stars (out of 5) - "...an effects-laden stream of conciousness. Here you are as likely to run into the spectral beauty of an ersatz choir as you are the sound of exploding TVs. The keynote, though, is doom, death, and decay....Is it art? undoubtedly....fun? Not without several stiff drinks inside you.", Ranked #47 in Nme's 1996 Critic's Poll., 5 (out of 5) "...perhaps the most complete, vibrant and challenging set of music you'll hear this year...", "...A Somber Mix That Will Challenge Even the Most Die-Hard Electronic-Music Devotees."-Rating: B+, "...dashing scavengers...fashioning their apocalyptic electronica from ravaged, rehabilitated scraps of Run-DMC, Ozric Tentacles, Welsh songbird Mary Hopkin and a little girl crying....full of color, mood and an emotionally agitated, last-stand vitality that rarely grows in the suburbs.", 4 out of 5 - "...Bleak and unforgiving, set adrift on a sea of angst....Corrosive beats lend a fierce rhythmic urgency to the dense backdrop of sampled noise....with a symphonic flair that most ambient/techno pretenders would scarcely imagine, let alone attempt..."
