This is what's been said... Clare Dickenson chose Walking Away as her Clares wares selected track of the week on Sarah Darlings XFM show. Afterwards she wrote on her weblog 'Very fresh sounding song that was a lovely melodic blend of the Psychedelic Furs and Gary Numan - great sax n synth combo with a dead catchy chorus. I was singing along in the studio and I've only heard it a few times...'. .........................Malicious Damage featured 'Rimshack' on their 2005 compilation 'the clock machine turns you on' alongside tracks by the orb, transit kings and shriekback.............. GIGS UNLIMITED said 'Pop this one in your CD player the next time you have a party. You'll either get rave reviews or get rid of the annoying bastards you didn't want there in the first place. Either way, you can't lose.' (8/10) ................................... GIGWISE said This is one of the most interesting demos to hit the Demolition postbag for a while. Psychedelic vocals and squelchy bass make for a healthy mix of weirdness and epic campness. Brilliant witty lyrics pepper Antennae songsThink Bowie, Clinic, British Sea Power, Psychedelic Furs with a splash of Yello ......................... UK MUSIC SEARCH said '...A direct clash between Depeche Mode style electro-pop, Teardrop Explodes style indie guitars, moody saxophones and a vocal performance that has elements of Ian Curtis, Julian Cope and Ian McCulloch ...Spaceships is the highlight-beefing up the synth-pop elements and placing them against dirty chugging guitar riffs results in a sound that has immediate appeal and urgency. With great vocal melodies and big choruses, this is the track that cements Antennae as a band well worth listening to...' ...................... FUTURE MUSIC reviewed walking away' and said ...a strong track with a really catchy melody........... UNSIGNED CENTRAL reviewed 'Spaceships' and said 'turn up the volume, put on your clown shoes and relax as you shower in confetti waiting for the doors to fall off your brightly coloured car! This song is hilarious! I Love it!...I can easily imagine this being a one hit wonder, It is every teenage dream, it is the stuff of Top of the pops, throw in some Cybermen body popping and a couple of wombles for good measure we have a christmas number one!' ......................Italian website KATHODIK said, in their 'Teenage Kicks' fanzine 'Pur se giovanissimo, il buon Paul Sweeting deve aver assimilato, magari attraverso la collezione del fratello maggiore, tutta quella pop wave che nei primi anni ottanta diede non poco lustro e impeto allindustria britannica. Mi ri ferisco in particolare a gruppi quali Psychedelic Furs e Teardrop Explodes, dacchè è codesto lhumus nel quale fioriscono le tre tracce del singolo; dove, in Walking Away, si sfiorano vette 1982 e nelle rimanenti Sweetest Sensation e Spaceships si sottolinea lassioma. Intrigante miele per nostalgici.'.
