This is too twee for me. I am sure that the drum machine sounded great in 1984, but it sounds pretty tame now. I love the idea of this band, from growing up listening to John Peel and hearing them so much, but the tracks here lack any oomph, or spine. Sugar Hiccup is a lovely tune, but there is none of that here - it's an amorphous blur. It's probably meant to drift by without much ado, but it all merged into one after a while. The mannered titles didn't help.

This was over before I realised it. It was there in the background whilst I was tap, tap, tapping away on other projects. It didn't leave much of an impression or distraction. Not offensive, but not something that grabbed me by the balls and demanded that I give it my full attention.
