I think this album has a lot of merit to it. I originally purchased it when I heard "Flow" on the Jawbreaker movie soundtrack. That, along with "Look Who's Perfect Now" and "Dizzy Moon" are the best songs on the album. These are the songs that have something unique and really enjoyable to them. The other songs have glimpses of this as well, but to a lesser extent. Overall, I think it's a great first album. Will we ever hear any more from them?

I've had this album since 1997. I randomly caught their video for "Look Who's Perfect Now" (also heard in the movie [Never Been Kissed], appropriately enough during the kiss) and went out and bought it immediately. I still feel that it's such a great, underrated album...I guess more people didn't catch on because the marketing for them wasn't so great (I did only see the video twice and never heard from them again). Even still, this album is interesting, catchy and unique. So many different sounds that somehow manage to not feel disjointed from song to song...folky-jazzy on "Stars Collide" with Keely's wispy vocals floating over a husky horror-movie sounding voice, trancey on "Head" with snippets of a telephone call from a payphone, a scream borrowed from (I believe) the original Night of the Living Dead on the haunting mid-tempo Garbage-esque "Falling Off the World" and the intriguing contrast of a happy lilting melody with a song title like "I Saw Red". Other standout songs include the energetic "Look Who's Perfect Now", the soaring "Day #1", the dreamy "Flow" (also heard in the movie Jawbreaker), and the irresistably catchy "Weather Boy". I've been listening to this cd for almost a decade, and I highly recommend this album.

This group is definately under rated. I got this CD because I thought the song Flow was awesome, and I am glad I did. There are really great songs on here. I wish they would come out with something else.

I just got this cd yesterday. What a surprise. This album is quite old but heck. Those songs still sound great! I bought it because of "Flow" and still, i think it's a nice track. The music is quite unique. Unfortunately, i realize this band doesn't produce any albums anymore. That's sad.

Gary Clark is a remarkable singer songwriter from Scotland. His band Danny Wilson provided the divine "Mary's Prayer". His one solo album is exceptional. More recently he was responsible for the bulk of Lauren Christy's album "Breed". Here you never hear his voice - a criminal shame, but we do get his great guitar,production and writing. Do yourself a favour and listen. And track down his other stuff if you can. Oh, and he's got a web site.

I expected a bad techno album when i first turned this C.d on. What i got was a great new band who blended techno stylings with guitar and intricate bass lines. The lead singer is a good young songwriter and has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Shirley Manson of Garbage and Laurie Post and Nina Gordon of Veruca Salt. This c.d is a good first album for a young, promising band.

I had no clue who this band was but after I heard a couple of tunes in some CD shop I scooped this up. Having said that the full-length album is not filled with killer tracks. It's good but not great. The best way to describe their sound is sort of Garbage without the money to spend on production values. The disc sounds great but the tunes range from sensational to mediocre.

Few words for each topic...

Wow...what can I say?...there are not enough words...but this album is so good...it is scary...people have definitely been sleeping on it...and need to wake up...if you like to float away...into your own zone...block out the world...this is the one for you...I wish they had more than one album...I would so promote them...they need to come back out...under the right management...this music is too good to keep to myself...

TRANSISTER COME BACK OUT!!!...the world needs you...there is no comparison...I LOVE IT~

Tracks 1, 2, 4, 6, are great, solid songs with pleanty of drive behind them- especially Weather Boy which is their most complete and catchy song. (mainly due to the saturation of Look who's perfect now on Australian radio station JJJ) I must disagree with the reviewers comment on Keely's vocals. Having anonymity is a blessing these days, and her sexy, yet common sounding voice complements the electro-pop music nicely. Not a bad effort at all from a newbie three-piece. Well worth a listen in the music store, and decide then for yourself. Much Better than Garbage.
