Comments:

Ok, so the debut album was stunningly brilliant, yet mysteriously avoided commercial success. So what do they do? Release an even better one. It got sliiightly more chart attention.

The sound of Reproduction is continued here, only refined, taken a bit further, and the songs are generally a bit better. The synths are sharper and sometimes disted, the beats more odd and haunting and the lyrics still often bordering to the strange and surreal. The extra tracks are also great, and not just instrumentals. What a brilliant idea to do a completely synthetic cover of the glam rocker Gary Glitter's song 'Rock'n'Roll'. Of these two excellent albums, this is the better one. Then something went terribly wrong.
