"Alice was Dada. Cockney Rebel were Wilde. Morrison was Rimbaud. Cale, Nico, Bowie and Roxy were Europeans. Reed knew it all came from Berlin, the spiritual home of Glam."
"Alice goes solo and reclaims his producer from Reed's 'Berlin'. He gradually moves away from his stateside take on Euro-surrealism into heavy Rock Messiahood. Kiss and everyone else rip him off."
"This is an underrated record by an artist derrided as inauthentic. Combining Ziggyisms with a really showtune vibe, this is proper Gay Glam and all the more interesting for it."
"One of 'The bands that time forgot' from between Glam and Punk, like Deaf School, Heavy Metal Kids, Bethnal and Rikki and The Last Days of Earth. Dystopian!"
"With the amaxing 'Kill City' unreleased at this time, Iggy and Bowie set the blueprint for Glam's Euromantic future and what will be called 'New Romantic'."
"Superb meshing of funky rock, hi-coloured synths and sneering punk attitude. The best looking band ever. A great album that has never been given the respect it deserves."
"Actually from 1975, but they didn't visit the UK until '77 when they unleashed Glam parody Quay Lewd onto us via the 'White Punks on Dope' single. A brilliant theatre rock album -Genius!"
"Yes, Howard Devoto used to wear a lot of makeup. This is an amazing Eurocentric album, somewhere between the agression and lyricism of The Stranglers and the soundscapes of 'Low'. A1."
"Pretentious? yes. Great tunes and amazing Bill Nelson synths and production ? Yes. The later remixed version was rubbish, as were the single edits. They wore Bowie-clone clothes at this point too."
"Incredible synth textures. Impeccable clothes, makeup and hair. A bass player to rival Burnel and Barry Adamson. The ultimate New Romantics alongside Foxx' Ultravox!"
"Always found Gary Numan catchy but a bit naff? Never mind, his inspiration John Foxx was the first true all electronic UK solo artist. Cold and sweeping glamour."
