    I buying this when it came out and thought "What the F... !!". Now I hear and I still think "What the F ...!!" but simply because I can't believe I didn't appreciate what a great 15 minutes of sound it was!

      I always thought this was the best HL album, the crap that came afterwards ed the other 1000 albums I burned. annie lennox one of the worst influences albeit popular but at the cost of original music.

        Four great instrumentals here!
        The first track reminds of Depeche Mode (cannot reember the track!)..
        The last track is a personal fave..Quite dark and spacey atmospheric (the 7" cover gives it away ha!)
        Its great to not hear Oakey spouting out aload of pseudo clap trap crap!
        These tracks will fit nicely into a mix with Boards Of Canada, Richard D James and 1960s electronic music!
        5 stars ***** ;)
