John Peel and the Red Guitars

We are chuffed to bits to have "Good Technology" on the John Peel tribute double CD "John Peel: Right Time, Wrong Speed 1977-1987" released by Warners in October 2006. There is a Red Guitars page in the Keeping It Peel section of the BBC website.

I just wait for that certain chord - the chord is blue it swings it rocks and when it comes I belt it!

Lyric from "Czech It Out" by Sean O'Brien.

 Slow To Fade is a bit of a classic - quite a bit. And a grower, too, featuring songs with melodies, guitars, drums, bass and a singer who can sing.
End quote.

Dave Henderson writing in Sounds on 10/11/84.
Start quote.
 Good Technology is one of those tracks that grabs you by the ears on first listen, the sort of thing that even before it's halfway through you know you love. Tense pulsing background with sharp spikes of guitar, it's clearly not long after early Talking Heads and New Romantics. It swells and spreads, expansive and awkward, but the thing that sets it apart and makes it worthy of remembering 20 years on is the arresting lyric.
End quote.
