Q (9/95, p.129) - 5 Stars - Indispensable - "...the Pet Shop Boys are, of course, one of the best things British pop has ever given us.

And they gather 30 of them here to show the wit and the finesse that they bring to what so many of their peers are content to treat as throwaway....plenty of songs here...could have been hits in their own right..."NME (Magazine) (8/5/95, p.44) - 6 (out of 10) - "...Be prepared for outbreaks of esoterica that could test the patience of a saint....in the midst of it all there is the odd outbreak of gleaming majesty..."0.1742851

"[A] consistently unpredictable film....One of the more hopeful films the director has made to date, not to mention an ambitious new departure in style." Film Comment "BRIGHT FUTURE casts its spell by drawing out the horror of everyday existence bit by bit, and then tossing in some otherworldly weirdness that makes the hair on the back of your neck try to run for cover."New York Times "[T]he most spellbinding aspect of BRIGHT FUTURE is that the surrealism sustains its own squiddish logic, concluding with one of the most breathtaking film finales of the year." Entertainment Weekly "Confounding the supernatural genre, Kurosawa is a thoughtful stylist looking at fate..."Chicago Sun-Times "There's a dreamy, Lynchian quality to this wayward urban tale of two disaffected friends..."Sight and Sound0.1501483

Alternative Press (p.97) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "From its heavily processed drum sound to Djiro's throat-shredding vocals, MAKE YOUR OWN HISTORY seems more indebted to Unsane and Helmet than the work of their peers."14.36846

Living Blues (pp.34-35) - "They don't make southern soul music like this in Muscle Shoals much anymore -- or, for that matter, anyplace else, except in the at the Sound Kitchen in Franklin, Tennessee, where BUILD YOUR OWN FIRE was cut."No Depression (p.100) - "[T]he music seems to come out of the past, without missing a beat but without sounding dated."14.26613

JazzTimes (p.79) - "This hunk of amalgamate called BRING YOUR OWN -- with its bits of jazz, rock, fusion, funk, punk and metal -- is everything at once."Uncut (magazine) (p.93) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t all comes together on 'Is That A Woodblock?', with its melancholic brass and feral electric growling."14.26613

Spin (p.92) - "[Sometimes] it works beautifully -- note the dreamy 'Janu are,' a meditation on passing time..."The Wire (p.62) - "Markus Acher's nostalgic humming and strumming announces 'Its Own Sun', contender for best Notwist song in years and 'Old Age' coasts along with their recognisable efficiency."CMJ - "On the glitchy, driving 'Janu Are,' the soulful 'Death Major' and the somber, ambient 'Unyoung,' the group comes together to sound completely different from what its halves sound like separately....The track 'Armored Scarves' is a truly epic ballad..."14.23793
