Product Description

Mojo (1/00, p.30) - Ranked #40 in Mojo Magazine's "Best of 1999"
Mojo (5/99, p.107) - "...AVANT HARD is a surreal combination of 70's film music, 80's electronic strangeness and 90's anything-goes experimentation. As it says on the cover, 'A new heart to analogue.' Indeed."
Q (6/99 p.100) - 3 Stars - Good - "...No matter how many analogue synthesizer croaks or sample cut-ups they make, there's always a two-drumkit flail [and]...a rending bassline, favouring colon-quivering sub-frequencies. The trio always have melody in their madness..."
New Musical Express (4/17/99, p.39) - 9 out of 10 - "...the best speaker-shudderingly rock album you'll hear this year....they now control the energy which surges throughtheir machines (and, no doubt, their veins) with masterful aplomb and new-found grace..."
Melody Maker (4/17/99, p.38) - 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "This is such a fun album. Forget all the reservations you may have about electronica being a foreboding, cold and clinical music....[AVANT HARD] is violent, sporadic, ridiculous and sometimes very, very sexy..."
