It is the first album by the band not to be produced by Martin Hannett. The album spent eleven weeks in the UK Independent Chart, peaking at number 1.[1] Critical reception{{album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1score = {{rating|3|5}}[3] | rev2 = Pitchfork | rev2score = 8.1/10[4] | rev3 = Stylus | rev3score = A–[2] | rev4 = Uncut | rev4score = 4/5[9] }} The album generally received critical acclaim. The Quietus called it "a visionary musical statement" and "arguably their greatest moment [...] Not since PIL's dominant 'Metal Box' had a band so seamlessly traversed such an unexpectedly broad musical landscape."[10] Stylus called the album "a masterpiece [...] a mesmerizing blend of ethnic rhythms and ghostly production that really sounds like nothing else."[2] Douglas Wolk of Pitchfork thought that the album "still sounds like no other record: either that era's creepiest, boggiest dance album or its funkiest smear of brittle art-noise."[2] Uncut magazine praised the record for its "taut, abrasive swagger," as well as its blend of funk and world music influences.[9] Exclaim! critic Kevin Hainey described it as "a strong ACR album from start to finish", and wrote that Tilson's vocals "give the band a somewhat airier, more soulful feel, and the added attention to African rhythms only slightly relieves their trademark tension."[14] Nevertheless, Trouser Press gave an unfavourable review to the album, writing: "There's no real focus to the discoid beats and wailing female vocals (Martha Tilson); ACR don't seem especially motivated by the music they're making."[15] AllMusic critic Keith Farley thought that the record "upped the energy of A Certain Ratio's dour minimalist dance." Farley also stated "the electronics and rhythms are still curiously apart from song structure for the most part, making for an oddly distanced record."[3] Track listing
