5 out of 5 stars A Must For Your CD Collection!.......2005-09-02

It's a simple thing, this review. You NEED to purchase this cd. That's all. Do what I say and you'll see that it was the right thing to do.

Finally, thanks to AMAZON.COM, I can enjoy the Fad Gadget Singles on CD. Every track on the CD was re-recorded and re-mixed. Titles such as Back to Nature and Ricky's Hand hold their own with the newer stuff out there. This is what the darker side of electronic pop was like. If you like Depeche Mode, Souxie, and all others alike, then this one will suit you just well. Purchase this album. You wont regret it. The fad may have passed, but the gadget lives on.

5 out of 5 stars The TRUE godfather of hard electronic pop.......1999-12-18

If you listen to Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, Ministry, Orgy, or any other act in the electronic pop/"industrial" rock genre...then you HAVE to listen to Fad Gadget. Frank Tovey was doing things in 1982 that STILL sound innovative today. Electric drills, screams, collapsing new buildings, all wrapped around rock-solid songwriting. Fad Gadget is the most undeservingly forgotten act of the 1980s.

    5 out of 5 stars In my soul, found again.......2005-03-17

    Bought this as an LP in 1985 in Boston. Was stolen in Los Angeles in the late 80's. Everyone always wanted it. No one ever had heard it. This was truly exotic music.
    Today I remembered a fragment of lyric "takes hours of preparation to get that wasted look" or some such. Into Google, and Voila! found some of my favorite music of all time.
    Enjoy this dark, trance-inducing, body-moving disc, with all the wonderful nuances of the underground 80's.
