"Relentlessly brilliant" - NME

"DiS's über-indie label of post-punkin' synth-manglin' oddness choice... the talent spotters to watch" - Drowned In Sound

"A really great label - I love it!" - Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 1

"New sounds are VITAL to any given art form to keep the life blood pumping: invigorating and challenging new sounds even more so. Brainlove Records understand this better than most: showcasing nervy, angular bands with oodles of passion and - even more importantly - melody coursing through their dank underground veins." - Everett True

"One of an ever-shrinking list of labels that are worth trusting." - Fractions Of One

"It must be stressed: Brainlove Records is breaking out with some prime material from bands that have genuine talent. Keep your eye on the boys and girls of this organisation; big things will happen for them. If this isn't the case, there is no God." - In The News

"Brainlove Records' uncanny knack of doing the A&R man's job for him seem to reach new levels on the back of Napoleon III's excellent 'In Debt To' album last year, a record that attracted widespread praise throughout music media circles culminating in end of year top ten poll appearances." - Contact Music

"I happen to strongly believe that it is essential that the labels like Brainlove exist... the passion for lo-fi diy music is paramount, and many of the acts on this compilation may never get any further than their one appearance on this eclectic, budget friendly compilation, but it matters not, for they will be able to tell their grandchildren with full hearted pride: 'I featured on a Brainlove compilation'." - ireallylovemusic

"Put simply, this is one of the most eclectic and consistently surprising labels you can imagine... if there’s a better indicator out there of the health of the UK underground music scene, I’d like to hear it." - Musos Guide

"Brainlove is consistently releasing music that is as ambitious in its vision as it is damn good fun." - Maps Magazine

"If you like your pop warped and experimental Brainlove Records deserves a special place in your heart. Like Postcard, Warp or even early Def Jam, Brainlove is one of those little labels that delivers a diverse range of music, yet maintains a strong identity for itself, partly through its artwork but mainly through its commitment to underground pop that's sexy, arty and innovative." - Beard (2005 EMAP zine award winner)

"The outlet for underground hero John Brainlove... the desire to find the bands who match the sounds in his head is laudable." - Planet Sound, Teletext

"Given their track record when Brainlove Records place a record of theirs on a high shelf and ask we jump we willingly enquire how high. 'As high as the shelf' is the response."

"The depth and breadth (of "2000 & ACE") proves why others are so excited by the fledgling label... proof that for all the panic in the industry, some independent labels are flourishing.".. - New Noise ..
