- Tunnel Magazine, Canada, Winter '96: "What a variety is what I
can say about this 12" from Defective. On side one, it starts off with this
really funky weird housy thing with some loop of a lady trying to moan or
something. Then, you hear simpletext (that mac program that talks in robo
voices) on echo, talking about TV od's. Just when you think that this
record couldn't get any more random, an answering machine message,
which is a couple of minutes cleans up side one with some Australian guy
talking about how they love defective records and some other literally
undiscernable material due to the killing accent. Side two makes TOTAL
turnaround, with smooth, great, acidic trance filling two nice, well mixed,
beautiful tracks. The melodies, and the females voice ebbing along in the
background mix the echoey acid effects with an exceptional touch. Very
nice. But, hell, Defective wouldn't let it end normally. Suddenly ``We're
going to talk about your bass, and how big it is, and things like
that" comes right after these two gentle tracks, and it's in a very
george-bushy voice! The acid intensifies, tempo goes up too, and a guitar
sample plays, with variations throughout the track at
one point introduces a tribal percussion set over everything, including
the guitar. Humorous, creative, gentle, and overall well put together
record that you should try to find if your tastes range. This is a label
worth checking out, you won't be dissapointed." Check out the original

- Retina Magazine, U.S.A., Summer '95, LG Concannon: "As
the title suggests, this EP offers a variety of Glitch personalities.
Five tracks and one spoken word passage (an Australian raving on about
his love of Glitch over an answering machine). All five of the musical
tracks serve up a nice helping of acid, with traces of German trance,
Detroit techno, and Brooklyn hardcore. However, it's 'Keep It Steady'
that emerges to steal the show. A rousing house track, yes I said house
track, dripping with techno-soul. A nice surprise from Baltimore's
techno wonder twins, the BEST Glitch track I have to date."
- DJ Magazine, U.K., Nov 23 1995, Technohead: "Included here
is a cover version of 'TVOD' originally created by the Normal and still
a classic, and Glitch have captured the early electro feel to represent
this. Other tracks range from cut up experiments to house based
rhythms, varied and always stimulating. CHECK"
