This purchase was a welcome and intriguing entrance into an all but lost world of creative synthesizer arrangement and production. I can't help but imagine there must be some subliminal content or code in both the songs and the song titles and I'm determined to crack it. I really consider this to be an album rather than a mere E.P, but this is purely semantics. The songs are mostly upbeat (infact some of the songs defy the word 'upbeat'), and bring a sense of ecstasy to lyrics that convey longing and unrequited love with a raw and invigorating musical fashion. How do Silver Factory Superstars do that? Maybe it's because they should be 'Superstars'? They are definitely shining brighter than most on our dancefloor tonight. My favourite song is 'She was all', surely if this was released as a single it would captivate the club scene and storm the charts - in fact - if it was released as a double A-Side with 'Alive with you' there would be no stopping this band. I am definitely going to set some time aside to catch them on their spring tour and maybe throw an item of clothing at them or even wait for them at the back stage door with mobile phone number in hand. Silver Factory Superstars to the rescue!!!!

How refreshing to listen to music that isn't a rip off of someone else’s sound. I can think of many artists that SFS may have been listening to whilst recording Extended Play (Jay Jay Johanson, Goldfrapp, even Pink Floyd) but this debut doesn't actually sound like any of them. 'Alive With You' alone is worth the cost of this CD, with its old skool drumbeat, swirling synth parts and stupidly hooky chorus it acts as the keystone to the SFS sound. 'Still Love' begins with a psuedo-trance intro that is soon tamed by a driving rhythm and a great melody, which is further enhanced by Mark Johnson’s innocent vocals. The songs on this CD fit together well - and not just because there is a linking track between each song – as a whole, it rises and falls in all the right places, culminating in the grand but wistful ‘In My Life’ which would surely be a number one single if sold to a boy band!
