"Conceivably the Romo Kraftwerk. [This] entirely instrumental mini-LP
is the sound of a fax machine having sex with a car alarm. Sounds warm
up and wind down llike ancient machines. And ancient machines is what
we're hearing - Moogs, Korgs and Junos - but the effect, paradoxically,
is sheer sci-fi phuture-shock."

"Anyone out there remember the album WOZ by Paul Woznicki? Or, maybe such
things as those early Mort Garson LPs? This has that sort of spirit. Yes,
it's caution to the wind, with chunky cheesy synths to the fore! It's
extraordinary really, as I thought such music had died out ages ago. They
quote The Human League, and I suppose there's a touch of their only interesting
record THE DIGNITY OF LABOUR in this. It seems to be all analogue synths
(except for drums) with a most bizzare choice in lead solo sounds. Synth-rock
for those who love the twee and embarrassing!"

"First seen performing at the riotous Mint Tea Rooms at the Water
Rats last December, the electronic synth trio with their faaabulous [sic]
light show were simply extraterrestrial. I find it intriguing that their
market has been up to now, an 'arty' audience, moreso than a rave-y one,
but there is certainly a crossover aspect. The album recorded on 8-track
for that special f/x, has tones of Kraftwerk, Nine Inch Nails, Throbbing
Gristle and Stockhausen in places. If you like your moogs a little on
the hard side, this one's for you..."

"Instrumental whosshy bleepy sojourn into Space 1999 & Star
Trek phaser fire induced Kraftwerk inspired 90s/80s Human League/Numanesque
sounds. Wicked & Essential, fans of early analogue synth listen out
and new Romos this is your thang! On the hotly tipped list for the next
Pulp tour support, Jarvis has taste!"
