"I think I bought this on sight back when it came out. It was from Sire, who was putting out great stuff at the time, and I thought the cover was cool. I was totally blown away the instant I heard "Soon." It was really something to try to wrap my brain around that wall of sound and the otherworldly warblings of Kevin and Bilinda. It's been a long time since I ripped that CD out of its old school cardboard case, but I remember hearing it for the first time like it was yesterday. Glider was truly groundbreaking."

Sweet, Romantic

""Soon" is clearly not one of my favourites. A repetitive hollow melody that will haunt me until the end. Maybe that's the main reason why many people think "loveless" and its eps are so overrated.

But both "glider" and "tremolo" are the best introduction to this band. And sure after listening to "loveless" and "isn't anything" you will return to them.

The song "glider" stands besides the most powerful instrumental classics."
