Reviews
"Still at thirteen minutes in length the groaning doom dread overture within – akin incidentally – by and large – to those emanating from the found craft at Hobs Lane in the first – and best – of the Quatermass stories – is icily gouged in hypno wave forms of coldly detached industrial dub murmurs and scratching manipulations as well as Geiger counter clicks – all very strange and slightly disconcerting not to mention something best viewed from the safe comfort behind the sofa." -
