"Second LP of mutant grooves for the iLL imprint (after status as Weatherall prodigies via Emissions Audio) after as many EP's from the trio of Ash Marlowe, Nathaniel Mellors, and Grant Newman. No (new) ground broken, just typically solid low fidelity/stock melodic derivation, acid bass and strange drums (often, but not always, very natural-breakbeat-flavored). Tangibly adequate." -- Hrvatski

"Conemelt are back with three tracks of their uncompromising brand of electronic funk. Unlike many of the their contemporaries, the Conemelt approach to music has remained focused on humor, inventiveness and fun. 'The Last De-Icer' is one of those rare tracks that could lift any dancefloor out of a moody rut, a runaway locomotion of funky-ass basslines and future disco dynamics. On the flip are the band's tribute to Fela Kuti, a feast of salsa-fied percussive funk and 'Big Toe Straightener', a big, quirky electro chugger."

Excellent new EP following full length's on New Ground, Emissions Audion and Ill. "Opening with the revved up, vocal stretching, breakbeat dynamics of 'Artificial Timestretch Lady', this EP is the sound of a band who have again made huge stride in their musical development, and again it shows Conemelt to be quirky masters of their trade...'South Eastern Promise' finds Conemelt in a summery mood with a sublime, squelchy jazzy number. 'Flying Buttress' is deep and funky, techy-house with a mad African vocal sample."

"Tonbridge's lo-fi techno rockers Conemelt make a grand re-entrance with their third and undeniably best album yet. Since releasing two critically acclaimed albums, You Fucker's Fuck for their own New Ground label and 1996's Confuse and Destroy for Emissions Audio, the band's sound has progressed and matured to produce an album, which while still retaining Conemelt's distinctly lo-fi approach, is certainly their most accessible. Opening with the jazz-tech opus of 'Hello Customers' and slipping into the turntable pyrotechnics of 'Amateur Drumatix' with its wicked Detroitian strings midway through, it soon becomes apparent that Conemelt's ear for a hook has only gotten better in their absence."
