4.0 out of 5 stars Startling debut for British Neo-Goth rockers..., June 16, 2000

By	"akcoll99" (Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

If you're reading this, then congratulations, you're one click away from owning an album by one of the best bands of the last two decades. Always a cult favorite, even in their home country, AATT have spent the better part of two decades building up a large, very loyal cult following. It all started with this album, which arrived in 1984 with the aid of producer Lol Tolhurst of The Cure. The band itself sounds young and still a little rough around the edges, but the music itself doesn't sound dated at all. The foundations for AATT's trademark sound is layed here, with the swirling guitars and driving bass firmly in place on such standouts as "So This Is Silence", "Impulse Of Man", and "Twilights Pool." I've spent the better part of the last three years tracking everything from these guys down, so if this is your first AATT CD then I envy you. So, go ahead and do yourself a favor and add some depth and intelligence to your CD collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential early Goth, May 8, 2005

By	sleep no more (Royal Oak, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

One of the most overlooked, forgotten and underrated bands of the early 80's. AATT's debut album was released in 1983 putting them in the scene at the height of the goth/dark pinnacle - The really interesting fact about this band is that they formed in an attempt (and success) to open for the Cure when they were about to tour (bear in mind that in 1982 the Cure released "Pornography" and the influence on this album is very evident- so much so that you can easily tell that the band was listening to the album, and used it as a benchmark for their sound and drive in an attempt to win a spot on the tour. For anyone interested in pre "The Top" Cure, Joy Division and Bauhaus, And Also the Trees is a worthwhile purchase and addition to your collection.
