Comment:

The pop sheen beaming off of such OMD tracks as "Red Frame/White Light" and the Velvet Underground cover "Sunday Morning" is so blinding it sometimes obscures the left-field brilliance of [i]Dazzle Ships[/i]. A bold piece of Cold War paranoia and frayed electronics, it includes such career highlights as the chirping keys of "Telegraph," the disembodied post-punk of "Radio Waves," the tweaked strings and stuttering radio-host samples of "This Is Helena," and the chilling "Fitter, Happier"-like (yes, the Radiohead interlude) opening segment of "Genetic Engineering." No wonder why some critics have called it the "[i]Kid A[/i] of its time."
