Totally chaotic, finger popping record with interesting electronics and confusing acoustic guitar coming through the left speaker unexpectedly - but there again, this record is full of little tricks like that. There's always something going on in the background that doesn't quite fit so you're never bored. (Jessi McGuire, Record Mirror, September 10, 1983)
This has the burning spirit of punk in its frantic urgent rush to get somewhere quick. It also has the stamp of a craftsman at work, so it's no surprise to find good old Martin Rushent at the helm. (Debbi Voller, No 1, September 10, 1983)

Intaferon - Baby Pain (Chrysalis)
The third single from this duo - who are two blokes both called Simon - and to their credit they're not plugging away at one distinctive style.
From their frantic debut "Get Out Of London" things have slowed right down. "Baby Pain" is a moody love song which chugs away with more than a nod to Bowie. After a few plays it begins to sound like something rather good. (Karen Swayne, No 1, September 22, 1984)
"Get Out Of London" and "Steamhammer Sam" were such chalk and cheese it was impossible to know what to expect. Unfortunately this is like eating chalk and cheese at the same time. A disappointingly tuneless throbber. (Paul Sexton, Record Mirror, September 29, 1984)
