COMP OF THE MONTH "This release is shit-hot." -Vice -2002

"...this is the sound of what is happening below the surface and we like it." -Fused Magazine -2002

"...those in search of nothing more than straightforward escapism under the strobe light best look elsewhere. Still, Misery is so far and by far the year's best electro comp." -San Francisco Bay Guardian -2002

"Misery Loves Company stands apart from anything else around right now. The new wave of the new wave, and it's superb."
-Jockey Slut -2002

"Screw those fabricated 'electro' scenes and media-generated hype machines; Ersatz Audio and associates are the genuine article, ma'am. And thanks to Nicola Kuperus' photography, it looks as good as it sounds." -URB -2002

"Though this comp could have used one or two relaxing moments to break from the incessant panic attacks, it is still impossible to fault the flawless taste and musical precision they use on all of their releases. -AMG

"...this album will not please everyone." -Feedback Monitor -2002

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
