Catchy

"I quite like both albums by brisbane band boxcar, this one being their first. It has an eighties dance/pop sound a bit similar to depeche mode or new order. The highlights for me are "hit and run" and "insect" Well worth buying if you are into stuff like OMD, Real life etc."

Missed synthdance from the end of the new wave era

"Just as new wave dance music was about to be washed out by 90s techno and house, acts like Kon Kan and Celebrate the Nun were just being signed to record deals--and as a result, most had about one fairly popular single. Boxcar was pretty much overlooked, but this is an extremely catchy dance album that screams Kon Kan, Electronic, late 80s era New Order--think "Round and Round" and "Vanishing Point." The male vocals are incredibly similar to New Order.



Well worth adding to your collection of 80s synthdance music."
