"It's indie and all that, but it's got a little extra rhythmic interest than the usual indie band. There also seems to be a bit of a new wave hangover influencing the music on a few songs, which blends surprisingly well. This is an an album only a Brit band could do, and it's the best blend of UK ..." [+] Reply

"Roisin Murphy is definitely one of the most interesting "pop" stars out there. Her music is catchy, strange and at times trippy AF. With each release she gets more creative and out there." Reply

"Roky Erickson is on four of the eleven tracks, Tommy Hall is on one. It's like the Rolling Stones without Mick Jagger or Keith Richards. There are people who say this is their favorite Elevators album. There are people who will say anything." Reply
"An album very much of it's time sonically, electronics and sound effects. Vocals aren't great but that's not really the point I suppose. E=mc2 is a great track, the rest are OK. Not bad, for an old fella like me it helps recall the 80's but probably not likely to set anyone elses pulse racing." Reply

"Taking cues from the Durruti Column and Wire, Temple IV see's Montgomery's guitar-only instrumentals evoke the mystery and beauty of South America to sublime effect. Like Flying Saucer Attack Roy Montgomery was one of the very first post-rock artists." Reply

"Bought this because of a Rolling Stone review. It ended being one of my favorites. "Fade Away" should've been a hit single, and the rest of the CD is just as outstanding. Even after all this time, it still sounds great." Reply
"Criminally underrated; there is a constant upbeat roar throughout but not with monotony. Songs like 'Can't Stand Your Funk' are reminiscent of modern funk/fusion artists. One of Mahavishnu's more consistent albums, if not the most consistent of them all." Reply
