Neon Hearts Single
"X-Lion Tamer gives his electronic pop a weird, wonky and rather wonderful twist on Neon Hearts"
The List Singles Review 4/5 (19/03/09)

Life Support Machine
"Disregard the fact that this is being touted as a b-side, it’s a fully functioning a-side in my eyes...17 Seconds Records may not be that long in the tooth but what a great start they've made in uncovering this gold."

" All four songs are great. He is pre-DX7, should be swigging from an original vintage Coke bottle like the model in The The’s Heartland vid. The sound is an unbelievably accurate description of a particular 80s style of intelligent pop"
