Professional Reviews

Q (12/03, p.156) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...This collection is laced with a compelling sense of psychosis..."

Uncut (1/04, p.118) - 4 stars out of 5 - "'Once In A Lifetime' still sounds like it's being broadcast back to us from some voodoo World Service of the future....TALKING HEADS ought to be lauded as authentic pioneers."
