A Revelation 23 May 2009
Format:Audio CD
'Continental' still sounds like a patchwork, but if we're going to get 2 discs of disparate material recorded over a 3 year period, then we could do a lot worse. The original album contains a few of Etienne's finest singles (namely Burnt Out Car and He's On The Phone, even Stormtrooper In Drag), as well as consistently interesting - if not excellent - excursions into typically leftfield pop. The bonus disc will have fans salivating, with 4 unreleased demos and all those obscure b-sides from the period; again, all very listenable and collectible. This is a proper deluxe release, with extensive liner notes and pix in a nicely designed and appealing digipack (although the transparent plastic sleeve is bound to get scuffed). It doesn't get 5 stars because it simply isn't a classic work, but it is very good and occasionally outstanding. Saint Etienne and Heavenly have done themselves proud.

pleasure 3 Jun 2009
Format:Audio CD
i,m beyond analysing saint etiennes music , thier output is amazing and they have put out such consistently brilliant music over the years they really have nothing to prove , this deluxe cd is no exception its full of that unique saint etienne sound ,some remixes , the odd classic and some new songs that are sure to please , a particular favourite track on here is'' down by the sea '' its so atmospheric i find it hard not to imagine i,m not laid on a beach somewhere , lovely stuff , sit back and enjoy the music ...

Buy it for track 8! 15 Mar 2004
Format:Audio CD
Stormtrooper in Drag - Mad song, vamping piano house arrangement... + all the quiet lilting melodies you know and love...

Some really evocative liner notes too.
