Reviews:

"The second album sacrificed nothing of the intensity and power of their debut, while demonstrably stretching their ambition with complex arrangements and a more polished production" (The Wire, 12/2003)

"Firmly presents the case for rediscovery" (Q, 07/2003)

"Their elaborate, Moog-driven segmented musical backdrops reflected Witts' classical background. Four stars (Uncut, 06/2003)

"FAAN kicks off with two of their best and most enduring songs, Dark Times and Lon Don. The album remains a dark, intelligent marvel to this day" (Whisperin' & Hollerin', 05/2003)

"A varied collection of melodic songs with both tension and depth, plus lyrics that successfully avoid the twin pitfalls of preaching or propaganda" (The Face, 10/1981)

"A lance falling straight into a block of ice" (Sounds, 09/1981)
