Review
"I admire their guts in producing such a blatantly uncommercial product; and their skill in dealing with it so sympathetically. It is a haunting sound, slightly rough and naive, the overall effect is tranquil and different, and in an age of people like Madonna and Duran Duran it stands out well .”
