	I had the first LP for awhile.  Hated it.  Reminded me of Flock
of Seagulls with Norwegian vocals.  Ugh.  I found it replete with boring, 
droning vocal work and excessively bad rhythmic construction; drum machines, 
poorly programmed, dominate the mix.  Perhaps I'm being rather tough, but 
I wouldn't waste any money on these people.  Just goes to prove that not
*everything* on 4AD is worth buying.

	But that's not to say that YOU won't like it, though.
