Reviewed in Bliss Aquamarine: “12 track compilation celebrating The Speed Of Sound’s 30th Anniversary. The album is available only on CD – no download or stream options – and collects together material that has never before been available on CD format. I Don’t Want Your Attentions kicks out at sexual harassment in the workplace within a spiky indiepop setting. Shut All The Clubs combines the aggression of punk with post-punk drama and angularity. The single version of Maid Of The Grey balances spooky gothic tendencies with off-centre psych-pop. Nightmare is an inventive slice of dark edged surreal psychedelia. I Wanna Feel Good is a snarly blast of 60s-style garage-rock. An eclectic band who pull together various forms of music from the post-punk era – spiky angularity, gothic darkness and the poppier sounds that would evolve into indiepop. Whilst having as much enthusiasm for psych, mod and garage of the 1960’s and combine these varied influences to form a distinctive sound of their own.”
