Ride: Nowhere (Creation)
Chris Roberts, Melody Maker, 6 October 1990
BEFORE WE start, one thing: 'Dreams Burn Down', eh? What a stormer! Breathtaking, sickening, walls collapsing all around you and oh look the gazelles are back. Worth the fuss or what? Can I pick 'em or am I just a lucky c***? 'Dreams Burn Down' is so great I limit myself to playing it only once every couple of days, because I like living in this street.
