Press Reviews from:freakytrigger.com June 7, 2000 review of "Christine"..."Lucas' vocal style is one of removed idolisation and desire for closeness that defines all the finest Romantic Pop, one of his best moments yet"-Robin Carmody. Momus (Nick Currie) mentioned me on his web site, he played my EP "Momusissus" on New Year's Day! Also TOOG (Gilles Weinzaeplten) listened to and liked the EP "Momusissus" More recently Momus called "Sebastien Hein", some of my newest stuff. a "mini-masterpiece".
