REVIEWS
Q "Urban paranoia and moody melody is what they do best...the trio remain an intriguing concern and this belated third album sees that continuing" 3/5

The Scotsman "a terrific collection of lush, intelligent electro pop full of beauty, tempered optimism and gallows wit" 4/5

Luna Kafe "ROC are a marvel...their genre-busting is intact as is their ability to pen great songs"

Hippo Press "Pompous European bastards out to get somebody back for something and helping futurepop get a grip in the process"

new-noise.net "Dreamy touches, stealthy beats and a very welcome sense of not knowing exactly what they've been listening to"

Leonards Lair "ROC make sweet music but in their hearts they're just as bitter as ever" 4/5

Copacetic Zine (Seattle) "This album isn't without its flaws...but there's a real earnestness and honesty on display here, and I couldn't help but be embraced by its charms."

thechickenfishspeaks.com (Dayton Ohio) "whispering vocals, techno beats, lush instrumentation...a rich, enticing soundscape"

ireallylovemusic.co.uk "how are things in ROC world in 2006? bloody great by the sounds of it. immerse yourself into this murky, but addictive world"

Single reviews (tracks from the album)
"Princess"
musicOMH.com "catchy, addictive and slightly sleazy - which is a very good thing"
LosingToday.com "the soundtrack to summer"
Gigwise.com "makes you feel relaxed, uncomfortable, reassured and disturbed all at once"
Time Out "Twisted...and oddly successful."
Rough Trade shops: "a delicious summer groove slyly slipping in bleak lyrics, a beauty"

"Journey To The Centre Of Brixton" (single A-side)
Losing Today "darkly spun and richly executed with an unmistakeable brooding edge at its core...very classy"
i-dj: "A crossover grime tune, a mish mash of grime, electro, jungle and even rock"
Puregroove.co.uk"mental electro punk"
Undercover: "Preposterous bass and stark, stinging handclaps create a turbulently grimy atmosphere for ROC's celestial female vocal...you could even call it grime-Frapp."

"Journey To The Centre Of Brixton (live version)" (single AA-side)
Gigwise.com: "Crashing cymbals, broken beats, slashes of guitar and electronic jiggery-pokery lend this version a fitting sense of hands-in-the-air menace"
