"'Same Band', sounds like The Who's'Tommy' - in its entirety - squeezed into four-and-a-half minutes; is utterlyheroic and bizarrely, by some distance, their most understated moment. What we have are a weird, mismatched band... alive to the incrediblepotential power of music, of what they can do."

Ultrasound do space-rock like Morrissey would'vedone if he'd been raised on Pink Floyd and Hendrix alone. With panache,with freak sympathy, with a beautiful melancholy at the center.Huge, head-rock of a Radiohead In The Moondust variety...

Singlehandedly they have been killing offother bands by being too damn good... To see Ultrasound in action is nothingshort of religious....you'll soon realise that any band who can sound like Spiritualized,Velvet Underground, Radiohead, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, look like abunch of reprobates and are dedicated to the cathartic powers of sound areon to a winner.

Think Joy Division's "Shadowplay",Boo Radley's dubbed up "Lazarus", Radiohead, Velvet Underground,Rolling Stones, The Verve - bands whose influence surfaces fleetingly beforebeing engulfed by Ultrasound's uniqueness.Ben Myers
Melody Maker - 10.01.98
They sound like an amalgam of 1972 heydayRoxy Music, Pere Ubu, The Sex Pistols, Placebo, Hawkwind, Spacemen 3, Galaxie500, Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground and 35 other bands - including,ahem, Van Der Graaf Generator. Then again, they don't sound like anythingyou've ever heard. They are Ultrasound, probably the hottest new band in Britain and surelydestined to be one of the success stories of 1998.
