- 'Mainstream' is probably the most invigorating record you're likely to hear this Summer... inspired musicianship, total lack of compromise and, most importantly, a sense of feverish excitement and utter dedication." (Sounds)
- "The most manic and passionate rush of music that has been committed to vinyl so far this year... positively lethal in its uncompromising intensity. I can think of no more than a handful of albums released this year which demand your attention as much as "Mainstream". "(Melody Maker)
- "A dazzling piece of post 60s Soft-ish instrumental complexorama. Their music is intriguing, intense and at times extremely volatile". (Disc)
- "It does exude considerable quantities of intense manic energy... and, better still, it's totally unpredictable and instrumentally rather skilfully executed." (NME)
- "Exhilaratingly energetic, fresh and inventive. There are echoes of early Soft Machine, the Nice and Gong and, as a bonus, a Sid Barrett vocal by Hayward on Rongwrong. This is one of the year's best records." (Hi-Fi for Pleasure)
- "What's on this vinyl is a ferocious combination of the ideas on the first two Velvet Underground albums coupled with the musical inventiveness of King Crimson or Soft Machine. This album must be heard to be believed. The musicians are superb, the production flawless." (Trouser Press)
- "It's all mighty good, fervent stuff, bursting with energy and tottering between tranquility and pandemonium." (Liquorice)
