5 out of 5 stars Punk Angst In Overdrive! .......2005-04-23

Irreverent. Ingenious. Funny. Cathartic. For best effect, pump up the volume - with the headphones on, of course. Highly recommended for middle aged types who are desperately trying to cope with existential angst while reminiscing the Golden Age (1985-1995). PS: A bit of "empirical advice", shall we say. Do not drive while listening to this CD in your car...especially the track "A Sheltered Life".

5 out of 5 stars A fine retrospective.......2002-05-04

During their decade of existence, Carter USM were consistently one of the best acts in the UK indie scene, both live and on record. One memorable review described their music as "The Clash meets the Pet Shop Boys", which seems fairly accurate if a bit too simplistic.

Dismissed in the US as either a novelty act or as "too English", Carter (James Robert Morrison, a.k.a. "Jim Bob" and Les "Fruit Bat" Carter) nevertheless made outstanding music full of energy and wit and compassion and righteous indignation at the state of mankind. Although they officially split a few years back, they still come up with the occasional collaboration under the name Who's The Daddy Now? as well as their individual projects, Jim's Super Stereoworld and Abdoujaparov, respectively.

This compilation is a good place to start.
