'Moving, mind-mangling, amazing...sounds that still beckon from an unrealized future' Dangerous Minds
'Alarming, forceful music which gives the listener no choice but to pay attention...The Lost Tapes is at least as revolutionary as Stewart's groundbreaking first album, and just as essential' AllMusic
'Sherwood’s deep dub, matched with Stewart’s post-apocalyptic confrontational style made Learning to Cope with Cowardice sound like the tapes had been through a war… still sounds futuristic and alien today' Brooklyn Vegan
'An exercise in disorientation...in a more paranoid age Stewart sounds like the voice of reason' Uncut
'An astonishing debut...still sounds restless, exploratory, and revelatory. One of post-punk dub's finest moments' International Times
'An album that indelibly inspired me to bring my noise...ESSENTIAL' Kevin Martin aka The Bug
