  1. A shimmering snowflake of a record.

    Draws heavily on Depeche Mode and the Pet Shop Boys.... It would take a dazzling collection to sound anything other than a poor relation to such synth titans, and this plainly isn't it. [July 2002, p.108]
  3. These Brits are sort of a New Order for the twenty-first century - fitter, happier, more productive.
  4. Flamboyance and melancholy in equal measure, then, but 'White Noise' mainly leaves you cold.
  5. Though the Manchester duo might not be completely on par with the bands they emulate, they more than earn an A for effort while crafting some wonderful melodies along the way.
  6. Uncut

    Mancunian hipsters will shudder in disbelief. [July 2002, p.101]

    A hint of what Pet Shop Boys would sound like with guitars. [Apr 2003, p.72]
