A beautiful representation of UK alternatives from the 80s

"This album is worth buying not just for the extraordinarly haunting blend of funk with the best of ambient despair emerging from the UK synthesiser movement of the late 1970's and 80's, but also simply so that you can say you have listened to world war three. The final track on this album, Winter Hill, sums up virtually all fears and all horrors of the Cold War,a frightening and sinister military precussion that builds and explodes across the better part of twelve minutes. The use of incredibly powerful bass rhythms detonate every few minutes as the nuclear weapons of the world tear apart the aural fabric. It is an incredibly powerful piece of music that will oneday find a home in a very powerful movie."
Sextet

"I originally bought the album sextet by a certain ratio for a dollar because it had a great album cover. When I got it home and dropped the needle, I was a fan forever. It is really to bad that so little of these guys music is available here"
Unique

"Well, this album and the follow up, Sextet, are absolutely unique in sound, and still fully ahead of their times. Those of who were into this band at the time have never forgotten these albums...horns, latin percussion, funk...there's no describing them. And ...to Each was produced by the infamous Martin Hannett.
If you are thinking about buying this album, don't: just buy it."
