Justin Sherill:

Not bad as a sampler, though the edited-in sound clips can drive you batty. Buy it if you have no other album you specifically want at the time.

Graham Johnston:

One to miss out, especially now that The Dust Blows Forward has been released which is a far superior package.

• 1993 UK CD A CARROT IS AS CLOSE AS A RABBIT GETS TO A DIAMOND Insert says COMPILATION AND SLEEVENOTES BY SIMON HOPKINS 1993 - tracks from Virgin's 5 Albums and 1 EP ('82 "OCEANDS") to which some lunatic has edited in short snatches of other stuff (mostly spoken like "APES MA") at the start of most tracks to create a sort of "TROUT" feel to it but effect is pathetic. Compilation of 19 tracks. "OCEANDS" cut from the '82 EP appears in digital form for the first time. The CD itself is an art-CD featuring an alarming close-up of Don Vliet's 1974 moustache.
