"The raw nature of the demos and other recordings that make up Back & Forth are what make it interesting. early SP stuff was spookier and more atmospheric than later, more processed and aggressive releases...less-is-more definately works here. you can really hear Throbbing Gristle's influence on cEv and ogre with this one. another cool element about their earlier output is that it's a mix of really caustic noise and catchy 808 beats. as dark as Puppy can get they always let a wink and a nod shine thru."

".....die hard fanatics - I think this is a great album and it's only the first album I bought. I think the music is great and there's not much to complain about no matter how " primitive " the equipment is. Granted, I can understand why cEvin might think that some fans might not like it but I think he shouldn't worry about it. What I say to you is buy the album if you enjoy then that's OK, if not then seek out something else"
