Review by Mark Ellen (NME), February 1980:
"The kind of press Scritti Politti attract gives the impression they're so abstract they can probably switch dimensions mid-set and have a political invective that makes a nuclear fission seem like a poke in the eye.
Believe me, I'm surprised - not to say stunned - that they shatter all these preconceptions.
They're warm, animated and instantly accessible, providing some of the brightest moments of the whole evening. Working loosely as a collective, Scritti tread a very fragile edge between an expansive, articulate music and imminent collapse. (Quite literally! Guitarist Green, at 23, has just been warned he's in line for his second heart-attack). They keep all options open by playing a piece of music once and then either revamping or discarding it completely, so God knows if this set's typical.
Tonight they play completely absorbing, experimental songs like 'The Watusi' making brilliant use of the accents and shades of their loose dub framework with thick cottonwool Wobble-styled base, crackling electric drums (synthesized?)
and restrained carefully-interwoven graphic guitar. I've rarely seen any band create so much space within such narrow confines and then put it to such exhilarating use."
