"mark robinson has the guitar dicipline of an early 80's robert fripp (the prog king's work with talking heads or 80's era king crimson comes to mind) but in a new-orderish, retro electro pop way that ups the funky, stark pop sensibility that has been this man's trademark for years. bring in those smooth robinson vocals and you have somehting nice to listen to while cleaning your bathrom, dancing alone in your room or riding a bike through the city. What really gets me going is the intricate yet simple and tight guitar work on this record, with guitars playing with rhythm as much as melody to create little puzzles upon which mark can sing. mmmm nice."
