"...for a superb band. African and White is one of my fave all time songs - mesmerising beat and bass riff. A truly creative duo proving that poms have the edge over the yanks by just that little bit. A compilation is your best starting point, but if you get the itch go right back to Difficult Shapes... album and feast your ears.
I recently got the DVD of a live set and found out they sound just as good. I wish Australia wasn't so far from their next gig..."
Not quite the VERY best

"Very good but not BEST only because of the glaring omission of "Highest High". It was the first Crisis tune that got any recognition on NY alternative radio due to it's alterna-pop accessibility for the general masses. It was the song that got me listening to them. So good to see that there are other people out there who appreciate this band."
Very Impressive Collection

"Just about every track off of this collection is great. You can hear alot of "Steely Dan" influence in their music. Most enjoyable tracks for me are "African & White", "No More Blue Horizons", Working With Fire & Steel", & "You Did Cut Me". If you have an open mind for various 80's music, this collection would be a good purchase."
But where is Volume 2?

"In Europe, three is a volume 2 to this collection with hits like "A Golden Handshake for Every Daughter", "Some People I know To Lead Fansastic Lives" and the classic "The Gates of Door to Door" (this was the theme song to the VH1 show "Sunday Brunch" back in the 80s).
But the 1st disc is awesome. One of the few "best of" collections that actually is the best of their work."
