Show All 14 Reviews- I love this record. Someone stated “The best coldwave record ever.” I tend to agree but also very diverse in the song writing. “Spectrum In Green” is just beautiful and subtly stark. So many different moods on this record that all work together. A true piece of art.
- What a wonderful album this is. If you're into the synth pop that was coming out of the UK in the 1980's you will love this. This is not over produced like some of that music was. This is what WLIR in Long Island N.Y. should have been playing but didn't. Highly recommend
- Edited 10 months agoContinually floored by how great this is. It simultaneously perfectly encapsulates a particular style in time while also sounding like nothing else. Fantastic synth+guitar arrangements and songwriting. Yes I wish there was more but also suspect that might only diminish the perfection herein. Even if I knew of its existence back in 1982 I'd probably still be listening to this album.
- Was rather surprised to spot this new at a local store, didn't know they ever repressed it. Great quality, too - sounds pretty much perfect, comes with a neat insert, top notch stuff.
- Did notice the cut fade - stupid, eh? That happened on last tk. Side 1 on SPV CD of Popol Vuh's 'Cobra Verde' too......Didn't notice New Statue, will try again......
- Has anyone noticed that some tracks are shorter than the original cassette version?
Not sure if it's just my copy, but it seemed like they cut out the fade out in Please Don't Fade Away and ended New Statue a bit early on my copy.
Amazing reissue regardless! - Best album of 2017, even though it was a reissue. Tunes are amazing. Wonder if Ian Brown from the Roses heard track A3, Destination Moon. If you ever reform I will be there.
- This is by far THE best Solid Space release hands down. The sound is amazing and love the fact that there is a insert lyric sheet with never before seen photos, original advert on cardstock, and unreleased tracks as well. Also it’s not ridiculously priced, if you order directly from the label. Have been waiting for this since forever. Glad Dark Entries was finally able to put this out.
