"With some songs not on the studio albums, this is a fantastic compilation. It stands on it's own in greatness along side the other early albums. A fantastic early collection" Reply
"The sound featured in this work is extremely hypnotic, catchy, dark and ethereal. A very particular evolution of techno music and ambient combined. I think the more I'm going to listen to it, the more I'll like it." Reply
"Decent songwriting, tasteful and restrained production. Kinda wish one or the other went a little further." Reply

"An underrated artist and underrated album. Squeezing out sparks, is one of the great British LP's of the seventies. Parker and co. create a sound similar to what Elvis Costello would sound like a year or so down the line. SOS, features some fantastic songs, such as, discovering Japan, waiting for..." [+] Reply

"A solid late Macca. Not as good as Chaos and Creation, by a longshot, but there's some strong material that stands up to anything from that album. It's just that there's also some tracks I don't like very much. However, it's still an enjoyable listen, and with songs like Mr Bellamy, Ever Present ..." [+] Reply

"What's not to like with this album? It's a great example of earthy, emotive songs with Heather's most impassioned vocal delivery. 'Heal', 'Island', 'Maybe An Angel' all burst with personality. The scathing lyric in 'Blue Black' shows that Heather has an angry side, but is strong enough to stand d..." [+] Reply

"The U.S. Version is a much stronger album. 1) Ballroom Blitz 2) Six Teens 3) No You Don't 4) A.C.D.C. 5) I Wanna Be Committed 6) Sweet F.A. 7) Fox On the Run 8) Set Me Free 9) Into the Night 10) Solid Gold Brass. Not one bad track. A great party album from my High School years- big in the States." Reply
"The Cardiacs most commercial album (not very commercial). Contains there one stab at single success (Is this the life - a top 50 single in 1988) and a number of their live stalwarts from around that time - In a city lining, RES and the whole world window. Another glorious album of beauty - the br..." [+] Reply
