"Individually and collectively I'm sure we're going to hear a lot more from this refreshingly irreverent quartet."

"MOPDTK should rightly be famous, or possibly infamous, for their live shows. This double-disc set provides the aural evidence."
ALBUM
"A classic MOPDTK album that fully embodies the band's virtues. There's humour, irreverence, fiendishly clever writing, scorching solos and an astonishing level of technical skill. "
ALBUM
"As inventive, skilled, irreverent and subversive as ever with the added bonus of an extended instrumental palette. "Red Hot" may sound very different but it's still quintessential MOPDTK. "
