Fad Gadget - Saturday Night Special (Mute)

Behind the painted face and the long nose lurks a man with a message or two to get across, and it would spoil the drama of hearing the record to tell you what it's about; put it on the shopping list and try it out. (Charlie Gillett, Smash Hits, February 4, 1982)

Fad Gadget - I Discover Love (Mute)

This group have been consistently fantastic, but nobody seems exactly over aware of them. Wake up you lot and listen to something decent. Frank Tovey is a mild-mannered man in real life, but transforms into an evil voice on record, and a performer well-known for doing obscene acts on stage. There, now you're interested! (Debbi Voller, No 1, September 10, 1983)

Fad Gadget - Life On The Line (Mute)

A very dull song with synthesizers that sounds like it's being sung from inside a bag. Some people think these Yazoo stablemates are interesting, but that's probably because they're Yazoo stablemates. (Simon Hills, Record Mirror, September 18, 1982)

Fad Gadget - King Of The Flies (Mute)

With luck this could slip into the charts by a side entrance. It has a sturdy melody, confident vocals and plenty of mystery and imagination in the words. Clever lad, our Fad. (Ian Birch, Smash Hits, April 15, 1982)
