2 stars Like the first two LPs, in some cases the early Ruins recordings get marked down for their pretty rough sound quality as when you're dealing in a chaotic wall of noise you at least want it be clear! This is an evolution though, and actually sounds a lot more like Zeuhl than anything previous, in particular the track Hallelujah which uses a contrast of lyricless vocal styles. Tracks like Grudge also seem to get the best out of the utter chaos of the previous two EPs. Plenty of absolute nonsense but on the whole there is a lot more structure, and some of the tracks would make it onto the Stonehenge album with a new bassist.
