National/internet download (5th Nov 07)
"...encrusted with the dirt of ages, a filthy fur coat adorned with heraldic raiment; a jewel-encrusted hand that nevertheless displays chapped and burnt fingernails… A sense of ebullient enjoyment emanantes forth. It’s almost cruel. One imagines Peter the Great presiding over a particularly sadistic banquet; Boyars out on the razz, running amok, pissing in primitive hearing aids and tearing up copies of Stukeley’s Itinerum Curiosum, that sort of thing" Incendiary Magazine
"The latest Politburo release is the bollocks. It’s heavy, and I shouldn’t like it, but it’s catchy and hasn’t been off the TFH stereo. Opener ‘The Oldest Empire’ is a weird little fella" Time For Heroes Magazine
