It seems every review of this album I come across has to throw in the Stone Roses reference, and there is certainly some validity to that, but despite some bands that go for that early 90’s ‘MADchester’ sound, this group seems to have taken that sound, but with the ability of advancing the sound to their own songwriting style, instead of just emulating. They either concentrate on quieter more atmospheric moments, or go for the attack on all the others, with beats and melodies you just want to go on and on and on. They are smart enough to keep the more upbeat tracks to a short time to make you want to get through the whole album, and its worth it. Oh, and there are hardly any vocals, which I like in this case. This album has a strange magnetism to it, ebbing and flowing, one moment lulling you to sleep, the next knocking you out of bed. ‘Troubled Son’, the leadoff track, makes me want to star in a ‘Trainspotting’-esque bank robbery flick (with Scarlett Johansson as my leading lady of course). Maybe its the David Holmes/’Ocean’s 11′-esque sound of the track ‘Innocence’ that does it too. A strangely soothing beautiful scenic sludgefest. Just listen, you’ll know what I mean. Simply put, a great British rock and roll album, with a dash of electronics.

“With the likes of Nathan Fake and Amusement Parks On Fire making it okay to admit a fondness for the previously-derided fey and foggy shoegazing scene of the early ‘90s, more and more bands are smudging out the vocals, plastering on the fuzz and cranking up the reverb. Manchester’s Working For A Nuclear Free City are one such group using My Bloody Valentine’s monolithic Loveless as their set text, but they avoid becoming pointless revivalists by adding a hard, Warp-esque electronic edge to their lovely, woozy sludge. An occasionally bewildering but ultimately rewarding experience.” – BBC.co.uk
