    I can see the technical merit points, but overall I thought this CD was pretty dull. I was excited for a dance music album with such great reviews, but instead got what might be a Dance Music album played on NPR, or Dance music for the above 40 crowd. The vocals were very irritating.

    Though Herbert has outdone himself and matches his ambitions with his achievements, the songs are unmistakably his and Siciliano's, sounding like no one else, twisting and swinging and drifting with optimum vibrancy.

    Warm and quirky. Pleasantly bizarre. Sophisticated and daft. Herbert at his best.

    Herbert sneakily subverts Scale's apocalyptic thematic thread into something warm and danceable. [2 Jun 2006, p.83]
