      Synth-pop is absolutely misleading and an insult, that does not do justice to this great band. They were part of the art, new wave and punk scene in San Francisco and played in the same clubs as Tuxedomoon and the Dead Kennedys like the Mabuhay and the Deaf Club!
      For more infos , see the amazing http://www.synthpunk.org/ page! The locals should know better!
      Synth Punk is a valid style variant for this scene like No Wave for a similarly distinct east coast style!

        Hi anybody in for this Info? Is that an insert or a printed inner sleeve that seems to have come with the Units LP! They can't have been too regular, as I have an in shrink copy bought at the time WITHOUT!

          Great band, beautiful album. Absolutely not to be missed if you are into the nu wave sounds.

            The live drumming of brad Saunders absolutely propels this into classic post punk/synth punk statis.

                This is a perfect piece of plastic.

                  Units borrow a lot from DEVO, but bring enough to the party to still be a worthwhile listen. The title track is a stand-out classic from the new-wave era, with it's funky infectious synth-bass and cool tongue-in-cheek androgynous vocals about a digital stalker. The album is long over-due for a re-issue, the opener "High Pressue Days" could be mistaken for a LCD Soundsystem track, which goes to show that there is still a market for this kind of thing.
