Sounds Like: QUOTES
"Aphrodisiacs -This is a Campaign : in the top 100 Scottish albums of all time" - is this music? magazine www.isthismusic.com
Voted no 20 in the best Scottish albums ever by the readers of the magazine."
"an utterly beguiling slice of disco music for the quietly deranged"
the list magazine
"The Aphrodisiacs have morphed, mutated and muscled-up from a tune some, engaging lightweight to a lean, agile n inventive combo that punches way above weight "
"If the aphrodisiacs had been turning out these tunes at the end of the 1980..s or the early ..90..s they would have been championed in the music press, eulogised on daytime radio, and solid ever-presents on the club scene" Friends of the heroes fanzine www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/reviews/music/week66.html
"The haphazard rise to success of three young men from Motherwell is the stuff of rock and roll legend. The resulting album, This is a Campaign, is a mixture of dark New Order moods, low register vocals and a massive kick drum" The Scotsman,
"Some bands are simply impossible to pigeon hole, they have simply absorbed so much of what is around them and moulded it, possibly quite unconsciously, into their own sound."
"Thank god that they have seen the light, thank god for The Aphrodisiacs."
