What do reviewers say about Unknown Pleasures and Cinemaniac?
This is not the Kerosene you might expect. It trades stamped steel for honeyed sweetness without losing its edge. Black tea keeps it honest.Unknown Pleasures
Here's the honest take: Cinemaniac smells like the snack bar. Not an abstraction of the snack bar. The actual, specific snack bar, popcorn, cola, salt, sugar, the whole concession-stand fantasy.Cinemaniac
