5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent treasure from the 80's, November 13, 1999

By	[e-mail] ([e-mail]) (Jakart, Indonesia) - See all my reviews

Absolutlly nothing can match this unearthed piece of brilliant songwrting and guitar work from the Lotus Eaters, even though "It Hurts" is not in this album, I still consider this album a very magnificent treasure from one of the best groups during of 80's, it would be absolutlly foolish for me not to give this album a 5 star rating. I know a lot of groups from the 80's like Catus World News, The Farmers Boys, Howard Devoto, The Colour Fields and Positive Noise whose albums are just waiting to be re-discover, it would be a big disappointment from the New Wave Yuppies if nobody dares to re-issue them like what you have done for the Lotus Eaters. I hope this vision and dream comes to reality!

5.0 out of 5 stars At the school disco c.1983 with imaginary boyfriend, July 24, 2000

By	"mazwinkel" (Dundee, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful example of gentle 80's angel pop. Its touching, gentle, rhythmic, romantic, beautiful and inspired music. Most of the songs on the CD do not sound live - they're so perfect. Its blokes showing their fragile and poetic side in a way that seems more real and immediate than any dodgy R Kelly or Bryan Adams lurve song! How refreshing. Peter Coyle's voice and Gem Kelly's guitar are a fab combination. 'The First Picture of You' and 'Out on your own' sound ace. Buy this album and relive your youth!

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique and Thoroughly Enjoyable, July 10, 2000

By A Customer

Although this isn't the original (aka "real") album "No Sense of Sin," the John Peel Radio 1 Sessions are equally great--fantastic, in fact. The amazing thing is some of the tracks were done when the group was only three weeks old, and the sound is almost exact to their one major release. Tracks are different enough to not duplicate the Japanese import of "No Sense of Sin" and the mastering is crisp n' tasty.
