Lowlife zine - UK - 96 "A collection of material dating from 82-84, largely culled from compilations and B-sides. "Into the waves", the second track, is a very dreamy affair, with trance like vocals and rolling string synth sounds that combine to create the desired atmosphere.. "In your Hand" is a very early track (1982) with analogue synth sounds and a regimented feel so often found on early electronic records sends you spiralling back in time to those early Human league releases. "Marianne's Dream", a very somber and gloomy landscape, reminds me of some of the incidental music used in the 1979 version of Nosferatu, creepy stuff that's well enhanced by the tape effects. "A forgotten dream", an instrumental piece, is quite enchanting, great piano work and deserving of a longer version. Rounding off the album "Adam & Eva" heads into Siouxsie territory, mainly for the vocals but also it's quirkiness and fairground feel. Overall, very much a document of foundation and roots."
