"The hippest of the British art-funk underground. Ultimately too unconventional for a wider audience, with their best tracks now back in print 23 Skidoo's unique achievements can be more widely appreciated" (Corriere Canadese, 02/2009)

"1984 saw Skidoo gamely attempting a slightly more conventional funk direction alongside their experimental percussion work, Urban Gamelan reflecting this awkwardly schizophrenic but rewarding period. Bonus tracks on this reissue include not only the irresistible 'commercial' single Coup, but also it's excellent (and long sought-after) follow-up Language" (The Wire, 01/2009)
