"This album still moves me after all of these years. I feel it's his finest. The lyrics transport you to far off places and the music is very eclectic & sophisticated. There isn't a track on the album that I don't like. This is in my top 5 all-time favorite albums.An essential for true Marc Almond fans. Just buy it..."
Marc's BEST!

"Anyone who knows Marc Almond already has this album. If you're interested in hearing more from an incredible songwriter and lyricist, this is the album to buy.For fourteen years and many shifts in my musical tastes, Mother Fist and Her Five Daughters has remained a favorite. The music is unexpectedly brilliant and the lyrics simultaneously lead you to a darker side of life while making you feel better and more inspired than you've felt in quite a while.Marc made some exceptional music with the Willing Sinners and the Mamba's in the late 80's. It's some of the best music from that time. Sometimes hard to find and most often a bit expensive, it is worth every dime.Just listen to "There is a Bed", "Saint Judy", "Champ", and "Mr. Sad" and you'll know that your in for a brilliant musical journey. Mother will stay with you forever once you've been introduced.Many thanks to Marc for this accomplishment."

"I have been slowly discovering Marc Almond's solo stuff bit by bit....I was not ready for the brilliance of this recording. Who would know that he was capable of such an incredible release. I recommend his autobiography "Tainted Life" - it gives eye popping background to his recordings....I just had to add my 5 stars to this because quite simply it is a great record.
The last cut, "The River" is perhaps a masterpiece. The whole experience is lush and gorgeous - you don't even need a cocktail or a joint to fly away with this joyeaux collection of real, true music. THANK YOU MARC! I LOVE YOU!"
