Press Reviews 19 December 2002 SUBSTANDARD Global Research Systems (Failsafe) * * * * This album is a cracker, if you like guitars, drums, and tonal soundscapes. The band mine similar territory to the likes of Bailter Space, HDU, Subliminals etc – it's all about textures. But the young Christchurch three-piece have their own take on the sonic soundscape, and, strangely, while they don't have any lyrics, their songs seem more emotional than the likes of HDU. Well recorded and stylishly packaged this is a great disc, and captures a band that knows exactly what it's doing. –Nick Gormack.- Chrischurch press
