"Stunning mid-'90's Helios Creed CD release,one of the better efforts he's ever put out.In my opinion,anyway.Like the way he carries on where Chrome had apparently left off.Tracks here that about had me screaming for more were "Tele-Vision","Dog Star",the space rock-like "First Encounter"(possibly the best cut on the entire disc),"Kurt Zombie" and "Next Encounter".Best described as mutated industrial,with a good share of alternative weirdness thrown in.Line-up:Helios Creed-guitar,synthesizer&vocals,Chris McKay-bass and Paul Della Pelle-drums.A must-have."

A good, if uninspired outing

"Posessing one of the most unique guitar sounds, one I have loved since I first heard his work with Chrome, Creed continues to release good sounding discs. Sadly, he is revealing his limitations as a writer, most of his recent works have sounded like rehashes of earlier stuff, making most of his output pretty interchangable. If you own one or two of his releases you are set, unless you are a completist. By all means, check his stuff out folks, just don't expect a lot of variation or growth between releases."
