Some wonderful things here - By: Wigan Guy, 22 Apr 2008 
Much of this album is very funny - Shattered Illusions is, of course, one of FA's finest moments while Yuppies is a worthy successor to 'Sloane Rangers' but for me the standout moment on this is the gorgeous Kern-alike number 'Another Man'. A truly lovely song, which sounds for all the world like a '40s standard - until yuo hear what they are singing about. Genuinely touching.
WYSIWYG - By: Andy Millward, 19 May 2004 This album has a number of tracks duplicating those recorded for the It, Wit... album (Taboo, Shattered Illusions, Jealousy & Lieder - a clever song you could never listen to more than once!), which is interesting if only to compare the performances of Denise Wharmby & Issy van Randwykin the soprano role.
There are however plenty more original & bitingly satirical songs - Yuppies, Radiating Love & Whites Blues are worthy of a mention,particularly the latter for its pin-sharp deconstruction of soft-centred middle class pseudo-liberal angst. I'd have to say there are also a few slightly tiresome numbers I wouldn't choose to play againin a hurry, not least Sew on a Sequin.
With these girls, what you see is (almost) what you get. Even so, this is a sly, lyrically knowing collection showcasing a remarkable talent. Buy & enjoy, knowing that the subtleties will reach your ears gradually over time.
Brillant and very very clever - By: , 20 May 2000 
This is the second recording I have of Fascinating Aida, & I am really impressed by it. I have found that I need to listen to their music a few times before I can catch whats going on - but after that I seem to find something new each time I listen. I think that they are exceptionally clever & I always wondered what YUPPIE stood for! My favourite track so far is Radiating Love - what would we all look like if there was all this radioactive fall out?
