Ox-Magazine, Germany, # 06-07/2005 (8/10 points)
"An intelligent, energizing, funny, ironical and most dancable album!"
Nordische-musik.de Germany
"In fact their fourth album goes far beyond sheer SID-chip-purism and instead uses those quirks and bleeps only as ornaments for great instrumental-pop with gorgeous titles like "Return Of The Ninja Droids" […]" SPEX, Germany, # 06/2005
4/5
"[…] Yes, Desert Planet are taking you back to the cubic gameworlds of a long forgotten time […] partially sweetest disco-trash, partially danceable electronica and partially pure reminiscence. […]" Onetake.de (4/5 Points), 06/2005
9/12
" 80's lads, nostalgia minded, friends of Finnish Sauna and differently-thinking dance mice can access here."
DJ @ Soundbase-online.com ( 9/12)
