Despite the fact that they seemingly intentionally set out to be disliked, perceived as a parody, etc.... there are some prime moments of musical exploitation in this group’s archive. That’s the best way I can describe it. Glamour Girl is a great nod to runway music and sort of foreshadowed some trends in vocal experimentation with pitch that would hit the electronic scene hard in later years. The Un-Releases is probably their best collection, but I won’t say they aren’t a “hit and miss” kind of group, because they definitely are. Live performances were a nightmare, though... that much I will say.

In terms of a concept, Chicks On Speed present an interestingly provocative manifesto - based on total destruction of musical structure. But scratching beneath the surface, "impressions" are rather diletante-ish.
