"I remember listening to this album late at night with a friend. Howlin' was howlin' at us. He was telling it like it is. That is a fond memory that I will never forget. Good times, good times!!"  Reply

"The Sulphur Man is a wonder of production, such an open, expansive sound, widescreen, if you will. As much a part of the song's brilliance as the songwriting itself."  Reply

"This is the best of the three masterpieces produced by the band. At the forefront of their sound, were the dream-like naieve vocals of Laetitia Sadier that overlayed unpredictable electronic rhythms and beautifully subtle arrangements. The voice acted as a kid of surreal instrument which blended ..."  [+]  Reply

"Why is this album so influential? A lot of reasons. It certainly didn't invent electronic music, and it certainly didn't even popularize it.
