H2O - Just Outside Of Heaven (RCA)

This makes Kajagoogoo sound classy. Watery synths and stunningly intelligent lyrics(?) build up for a real barnstorming crescendo, I was really moved, I must say. And my word, aren't they a good-looking bunch for sure. They remind me of New Musik and I'm sure the singer must want to be in OMD very badly. (Peter Martin, Smash Hits, August 4, 1983)

Anonymous poppyrock. I suggest you heed the news bulletins and use as little H2O as possible. (Paul Simper, No 1, July 23, 1983)

H2googoo look like keeping their feet under the table for a long time. Another deceptive song with the initial impact of a wet flannel, before those soft musical rumblings begin to take hold. Absolutely no escape. (Robin Smith, Record Mirror, July 23, 1983)

H2O - Who'll Stop The Rain (RCA)

I don't think I'd be wrong if I called H2O a formula band. The trouble is, the chemistry that created "Dream To Sleep" has gone awry. Here they're searching around for a different sound.
Endgames and Bourgie Bourgie do this sort of single ten times better.
Back to the lab, boys. (Frank Hopkinson, No 1, May 12, 1984)
