"This is in fact an (inexplicably resequenced) re-release of The Set's first two classic albums, both from 1980: Strange Boutique (tracks 1 to 11) and Love Zombies (tracks 12 to 20).Call it Art-Punk, call it Neo-Psychedelia, call it refreshingly intelligent pop, call it anything you want, but if you haven't got it BUY IT NOW!"

"I listened to these songs 15 years ago in Santiago, Chile. I didn't know who they where then, it was just an unnamed tape. Ten years later one word still remained in my mind: "monochrome set". I looked it up and I have finally found the source. This band has one of the most intriguing, refreshing and liberating new wave sounds of the era. It makes you want to play and experiment. ATU/99"

"After disbanding in the late 1980s, the Monochrome Set are back again with the same great style rendered somewhat more mature. This album contains some of their finest material. One to treasure for years."
