    'I can't hear it in the same way as a record I was involved with, but I certainly don't feel a yearning to be involved again, and I've no regrets about leaving at all. The album is difficult for me to comment on, though I do have something of a stock answer, which is: you can probably work out what I think about it by listening to Unsound Methods and then Ultra, because the two records tell you everything you need to know about what the musical relationship was between myself and Martin. It's almost as if we've gone to the two extremes of what we were when we were together. What the band had before was a combination of those extremes.'

      It's a shame such a great album to be released on a single vinyl, particularly side 1 spans 31:20, too much music n' tight grooves on the vinyl. The sound is ok, yet you'll need a hell of a tracker-tracer of a cartridge to sail through with good sound.......
