I think it's time for dawn of the replicants
the video game. You could play george from east west
and you have to fire little john peels at the various
ex members of simple minds/human leage that run east
west in an effort to keep your record deal. Kind of a
grand theft auto for the alternative generation.
Anyway, keep on truckin',
All the best,
Steven vickers.

What the press had to say about singles collection and Free DVD 'BUST THE TRUNK'

"Supermodel satires, hitchcockian weddings, the mighty "Essence of Maureen". Why can't all greatest hits be like this?"

ROCKSOUND 9 OUT OF 10

"Debut single "Cocaine on the Catwalk" still sounds as unusually brilliant as it did first time around, the sinister stomp of "Rule the Roost" remains a minor late-90s gem, and the more recent "Oh, Bumblebee" is oddball pop personified. Paul Vickers unique vocal whine hovers delightfully through it all, occupying a self-effacing space somewhere between the sound of nick cave and Billy Corgan"

RECORD COLLECTOR.

"Their brightly Lo-Fi, keenly felt guitar-pop is usually infectious. Nowhere is this more true than on a collection of the groups singles. From melancholy-tinged "Lisa Box" through aptly titled "Science Fiction Freak" to the anthemic "Cocaine on the Catwalk", its stirring stuff. Throw in a bonus DVD, and you have a bargain too."

FLUX

"They sound like the cream of American college rock from the last 30 years transposed to the UK at the tail end of Britpop. Frequently compared to the Beta Band being their equal in terms of songwriting. A gem of a compilation, a morning chorus of radio friendly alt-rock"

CLASSIC ROCK

"They aren't really a band for Top of the Pops; they are for those who appreciate their eccentricities and sly humour. Dawn of the Replicants are the best band no one has heard of, consistently delivering over five albums and ten years"

CLASH MAGAZINE

"Their quirky art rock compositions like the acclaimed "Cocaine on the Catwalk" and "Hogwash Farm" charmed many, John Peel included, and makes a fine assortment of surreal if daftly titled winning melodies"

GUITAR AND BASS

"DotR are one of those bands that, although successful, have always managed to slip under the radar and narrowly avoid becoming massive. And that's not down to lack of potential, as this collection of A-sides reveals. Twenty-two tracks of cockeyed pop, tinged with punk and psychedelia, which have an innate charm about them, rather like a childs crayon drawing."

FUTURE MUSIC

"Everyone has to buy this; I hear it's the law"

PLAN B

"Like Colombo, their shambolic and unfashionable exteriors disguise a keen instinct for murderous riffs and lethal choruses, proving that not all best of collections have to follow a downward trajectory."

THE SKINNY FOUR STARS.

"A clutch of indiepop singles like debut "Cocaine on the Catwalk", "Candlefire", and the David Holmes remix of "Skullcrusher" meant that briefly, the mad mad world of The Reps was almost the norm in indieland. Later there are moments of genius in "Everyone in Heaven (Is Afraid of Heights)" and "Fix the Air" .Then things come full circle on a version of "Cocaine on the Catwalk" to end which only emphasises maybe what ought to have been"

IS THIS MUSIC?

"A decade of frazzled pop - Bust the Trunk is essential."

Thursday, February 23, 2006 
"D.O.T.R dont so much plough their own furrow as invent an entirely new kind of farm in which all the livestock speak Spanish and wear funny hats. They are as the hip-hoppers say, on some other shit, and never more so then here...dipsomaniac rumba (liqueur lagoon) lo-fi waltz (pterodactyl) and at least one vitriolic pop classic in Little Driver"  
 
N.M.E 7 OUT OF TEN.  
 
   
 
"Much of the magic stems from frontman Paul Vickers, a loveable gonk? de Vinci of lyrical invention whole stream of consciousness teems with deft wordplay...Liqueur Lagoon is kooky lounge noir, Vickers imagery taking in "a puppy spinning on a sander". Better yet is Oh, Bumblebee, a hook-laden curio packing beefheartian riffing and a jazzy ,waltz-time ending...Fangs is a wonky delight."  
 
MOJO 4 STARS.    
 
   
 
"In Paul Vickers they retain a singer like a drunk Jagger, and with the likes of Essence of Maureen and Liqueur Lagoon they offer bite-sized chunks of quirky British Beefheartedness with added ace melodies."  
 
CLASSIC ROCK 7 OUT OF TEN.  
 
   
 
"Fangs is a lovely record which incorporates nonsensical lyrics, brass bands, unidentified widdly bits and the melodica-driven bacchanalian reverie of Fix the Air."  
 
Q 3 STARS.  
 
   
 
"Fangs marks a decade in the business of mixing Zappa? Beefheart-toned pych rock and New Orleans blues. Paul Vickers strange, strangled baritone is surprisingly affecting"  
 
UN-CUT.3 STARS.  
 
   
 
"Fix the air is genuine psychedelic pop perfection. Paul Vickers voice continues to paint him as the bast**d offspring of Peter Lorre and Ozzy Osbourne, but the bands harmonies are getting ever swoonier with age, and the end result is camped somewhere just left of the field where youll find the Furries. Bitingly bizarre."  
 
ROCKSOUND 7 OUT OF TEN.  
 
   
 
"Why half of these songs arent number one is beyond me...more invention than Beefheart could have dreamt of"  
 
FLUX.  
   
 
"The album, their fifth over a ten year career, is a voodoo New Orleans jazz-rock-opera featuring a cast of boozed-up lounge brawlers, and surrealist Wild West imagery. Beautifully arranged and produced, musically it spans classic rock, Ennio Morricone, doo-wop, BB King style blues and consistently melodic yet inventive songwriting.  
THE SKINNY.  
 
"I like Dawn of the Replicants, I like the vibe, the ethos, the attitude, hell, I even like some of the tunes, so, whatcha got for me? Weird me happy you shit-grinning pop-jazz, glam-rock, bumper-car, daft haircut, new man, old man, newman, innovating, thieving bast**ds. They do. They are. "Fangs" is.  
 
UN-PEELED.
