Namechecking all those old
8-bit computer game faves, it's the Spectrum vs Commodore debate all over

The tale of 2 original outsiders
with dreams of making it as the "Morcambe & Wise of the pop world scene"!

Books, black and white photographs,
faded brown paper wrap - Never has memory, nostalgia and retrospect sounded
so relevant.
PA/CD (Review)
Record Collector Magazine 2001
A stunning five-track exercise in electronic beat poetry, “PA/CD” is
less a venture into an area bordered by Mark Astronaut and John Cooper-Clarke
than those rapid-fire vers libre readings accompanied by jazz that were
prevalent in bohemian circles in the early ‘60s. Have times changed so much
that experimental works such as this have no place? Fortunately, the answer is a
resounding no. Praveen
Manghani’s ethereal keyboards combine a mannered revelling in mainstream pop
with a constant free-flowing pace. There are also declamations by himself and
Russell Thompson: the latter’s Rotten-alike nasal whine is entirely
appropriate to “The Sex Pistols’ Last Photo” narrative, while Manghani’s
more clipped diction suits “The Other Ones” – a transcendence beyond some
ghastly family gathering. Alan Clayson
