  1. 8.0 |   Scotland on Sunday

    Time is disorientating, and Money sounds like a completely different currency, the distinctive bass figure relocated to a mad professor's sound laboratory

  2. 7.0 |   The 405

    While it will certainly never hold the impact of the original, as an escapade in psychedelic rock it really does have its own merits
