CD Reviews

A must have pre-MTV post-punk collection!

Sgt. Rock | Lake Oswego, OR United States | 04/06/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Fantastic collection of classic Au Pairs' songs. Among my favs are We're So Cool, Repetition, Come Again, and It's Obvious. A must have CD for those interested in pre-MTV post-punk music."

Little twisters

Diddly Rose | 04/02/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Excellent collection of strongly observed songs about human stress, set to spare, tough music that draws on dub, funk, and noise. It's missing "Armagh" which is a bit surprising, and "Pretty Boys" which is just a pity, but otherwise a great place to start if you can't lay your hands on the first album "Playing with a different sex" which has been out of print for some time. Buy this before the remastered version of the second album, "Sense and Sensuality""
