Seems like the 80's electro groove is worming its way back onto the
music scene - if this album is anything to go by. I've heard it in
quite a few places recently - will clubbers be body popping and
spinning on their heads again soon? Anyone got any views?

Love the minimalist sound of "We never know" with Nicolettes voice at
the forefront - where it should be, as this lady *Definitely* has got
a good one.

On 'Judgement Day' the unusualness of it is really apparent when
accompanied by just a piano.

Definitely a dark and moody album. Very thought provoking - like I
like it. Heavy bass lines. An album that needs to be given your
undivided attention - listen to it in a dark room lying down.

Nervous - manic sound - if this doesn't get your blood flowing what
will?

I remember singing 'Where have all the flowers gone?' at primary
school - it's sad that we are still asking the same question.

Nightmare is such a great track - where does that 'bass' sound come
from??

Can someone please put me out of my misery and tell me where the break
used in 'Just to Say Peace and Love' is from?

The remix CD - liked the re-mixes of No 'Government' and 'We Never
Know' but the Judgement Day re-mixes weren't happening for me.

Overall an excellent album - deep, dark and moody yet also danceable
(some of it anyway). Contains a multitude of influences - all mixed
up and thrown back at you!! Gets better every time listen to it.
