"Celebrating underground creativity over mainstream blandness....A lavish package released for Record Store Day...The album features the apparently unlikely pairing of underground musician Ruben Vine and well-known actor Michael Jayston...What we have here is a sort of allegorical punk rock opera, with Ruben Vine's heavy-hitting music punctuated by scene-setting narrations from Michael Jayston. The music draws largely from punk, metal, classic rock, and hard-edged alternative rock, whilst taking on board ideas from beyond the rock sphere and also combining rock sub-genres in a creative manner...an antidote to the corporate music industry dictating people's tastes" AQUA MARINE
"This is very different & tremendously unique…the concept album sounds too strange to be true but it absolutely works and it works really well... It’s one of my favourite albums for some time. There is punk, folk, jazz all wrapped up in a single package...I found the entire package simply brilliant! " PUNKONLINE
“it’s definitely best to hear the whole thing in one sitting ...Jayston is a master of his craft…his hard-edged voice is suited to the tone of the album...even lines that seem too bizarre for him to deliver straight are given the utmost conviction. The man was born to narrate surreal sci-fi concept albums… absolute high point for me is ‘Oh MyDays’ & the Narration that precedes it by Michael Jayston…Not only does this mark the protagonist’s turning point, it shifts the album’s tone…" BLOGTOR WHO
