5.0 out of 5 stars ....certainly not burnt out! Era-crossing classic., 9 Jul 2003
By M. B. Wilson "crushtrash" (Bristol) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Fans who have bought the last two albums where John has collaborated with Louis will know the two combined talents spark off eachother perfectly. The results are a mixture of bleepy trippy songs and 4:4 club cross-overs, keeping keyboard elements from Metamatic era (arguably his best solo period) in the mix alongside sparse but catchy modern production. His lyrical visions are as alienated as ever, robotics, technological jargon, shadowy forms and bleak scenery - but overall this is probably the most upfront of their albums to date. Drive pulsates along, if a little monotinously at times, but is a great contrast to the more plaintive Cinema. Highlights include Broken Furniture (could be a single, if they chose...), the excellent trippy Sidewalking (Kraftwerk, move aside!), She Robot and the very fierce title track. But there isn't a weak track here, particularly after a few listens. Vocally this set seems a little stronger than Pleasures of Electricity, and musically covers 80s to 2003 in styles - albeit a mechanical electronic 2003! Some of the tracks have less melody, but their sinister momentum keeps you hooked. Some nice 'dark' photo images, as usual, in a deluxe booklet round off this package perfectly. Well worth a listen!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and Enjoyable, 30 Dec 2003
By Christopher Hunter "cjhunter2001uk" (Farnham UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
After the musical desert, in terms of output, during the late 80's and early 90's John Foxx seems to be trying to make up for lost time in recent years.

This is an enjoyable record. It is less 'Kraftwerk circa '77' than 'The Pleasures of Electricity' and is better for that. The tracks where a harder edge come into play such as the title track and 'Drive' work best with a smattering of cyber-punk almost perceptable.

Where I think the record lapses a tad is in some of the tracks such as 'sex video' and 'she robot' where I got the sense that someone had thrown in a few fillers. Even so, if you enjoy electro-pop/rock with references to the ground breaking electronic early-eighties records that have taken us to where we are now, then you will enjoy this record.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beezer Treat, 20 Jul 2003
By H. Neilson "macbiggles" (Inverness, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Absolutely superb, probably the best and most accessible of his albums since his "happy return". Quite varied, a little of the flavour of The Garden about it I think - he's obviously enjoying himself! Lyrically the territory is familiar, loss of identity being pleasingly prominent. I could imagine some of these songs being done by Systems-era Ultravox; several tracks stand out, but it plays very well as a complete album, superbly paced. It's just a shame that only existing fans will hear this stuff - it would sound pretty good on anybody's radio. Personal faves are the opener, the title track and Ultraviolet / Infrared - I think it's as strong as anything he's ever done. A tour ... please!
