Also features exclusive sleevenotes from journalist Simon Reynolds with interviews from Alan Rankine, Michael Dempsey, Mike Hedges & Martha Ludley plus previously unseen photography by Derek Reid, Tom Sheehan & Eveline Dröge. The Associates are relying on two factors here: 'quirk', which only attracts the mindless or performative; and a very thin veil of 'intellect' over what is, in reality, a total absence of talent or ability when it comes to the creation of music. Outside of the studio, almost not one of these numbers would even be playable. Inside the studio, they amount to a heap of cacophony and obnoxity (not a word). If one is so enamoured with 'difference' that one must sidestep achievement altogether, then one is a vain idiot. The main single is all worth time here, and not much. a b c d Petridis, Alexis (27 April 2007). " 'If You're Brave, Do It Like We Did' ". The Guardian . Retrieved 8 May 2013. Reynolds, Simon (2009).

In 1986 he started a solo career and recorded three albums. The best Associates songs sound fresh and luminous. Mix Billy's phantasmagoric voice with Rankine's multi-layered instrumentation. OK? Now add tons of amphetamines. Sulk is the result. It seems to me this music will resist the passing of time, for it feels it was made disregarding all critics and musical currents." - Altair82

If you are a dyed in the wool Associates fan or you’ve never dipped your toe in the water before, buy this album. I’d hate to think there are people on this planet who have never experienced Sulk. They don’t know quite what they are missing. Party Fears Two" (2000 V2 Promo mix) – This 5:12 mix appeared only on the 2000 Associates promo should have been included. Twanging bass has you tapping your foot from the off on the addictively alluring Skipping, a song which just increases in intensity the more you listen, with Billy releasing the true depths of his warm brogue. Is it intensity you’re after? Well along comes the dark theatre of it’s Better This Way, a throbbing almost goth like behemoth of a tune, Billy’s vocal histrionics adding the fervent passion. Perfection RANKINE: I remember when Bill came down to Edinburgh. I had a flat I was sharing with my girlfriend – and Bill had to stay where the rest of the band was staying. He came to me after two days, and he said, “Man you’ve got to get me out of here, I cannae take it any more, there’s too much testosterone.” Within two days, Bill was sleeping on the couch in the lounge, and we were listening to Giorgio Moroder and the Munich Machine. So we were absorbing all of that, and Low and Heroes, and the stuff that was happening with Eno and Fripp. Bill and I had so many things to draw on. We loved the cinematic stuff. We loved the way that you could play with people’s emotions. At the same time there was a pop sensibility. Bill and I used to warm up in the studio and we’d do “Let’s Spend The Night Together” by the Stones, or “Brown Sugar”, and Bill would be camping it up, and suddenly we’d just shift and we’d be doing “The Look Of Love” and Bill would be imitating Dusty Springfield.
