"Amazing hairs stand up music. Only ever had a few of traks off this at the time and wish I'd had the full album as only had it couple of years. 88 man. Very efficient indeed." Reply

"It's a very nice album to make you feel good! All of the lyrics aren't very hard to understand and Sarah's vocals are very cute! This is a good album if you want something easy to listen to, are a fan of J-Pop and nothing to challenging to think about." Reply
"I'm finally starting to get this album. Full of different moods caused by electronic sounds, real instruments and a variety of interesting vocal samples. Quite cool album, feels like walking in a subway. Best songs are probably "Burning Wheel" and "Star"." Reply

"This really should be considered an EP since half the album is just soundtrack background music. But if considered as a whole album it is easily their worst." Reply

"Really good, track for track, but you could cut three or four songs here without missing anything. Otherwise, terrific songwriting--if a little samey--and even better production." Reply

"It's subdued, introspective, jazzy, perhaps even "sedate," almost a callback to the Beatnik Era, complete with the dingy 50's kitchen curtain and the stained coffee mug going cold on the side table as you chain-smoked Turkish cigarettes, the sort of album you probably wouldn't put on for your gir..."

"No one is more in the bag for this record. It took To Pimp a Butterfly to beat it for my AOTY the year their debut was released.

"I am quite surprised that I am the first person leaving a comment for this superb album. What a great chill out, funky, up-beat experience this is. Coming out in 79 it has a very eighties feel about it which I absolutely love. Stunning production which jumps out of the speakers, well, the vinyl d..." [+] Reply
