Review by JuneAtkinson Sep 19, 2003

Fancy an argument anyone? imho THIS is the first techno track and not "Sharevari" by A Number of Names. Why? Sharivari sounds more like like weird disco, lyrics aspire trendy clothes brands, sports cars etc... yawn). And that's not techno imagery. Whereas "Cosmic Cars" is a one-off classic (try it at 33 instead of 45 rpm and you get a flowing freaked-out futuristic epic).
"Alleys..." is surprisingly new-wave(ish); the version on the "Enter" LP is sung straight, whereas this earlier 7" recording has a much more robo-heavy vocal delivery. 5/5
