About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

To say The Age of Consent is a great album of dance-oriented synth-pop music is to sell it extremely short; this is simply a great album, period. Jimmy Somerville's soaring tenor may take some getting used to, but the songs, many of them dealing with homophobia and alienation (none more eloquently than "Smalltown Boy"), are compelling vignettes about the vagaries of life as a gay man. Cynics predisposed to dismissing entire genres of music based on trendiness or a limited appeal ("dance music is for dancing, not listening") miss the point in lumping this in with more mindless forays into techno or neo-disco. As the Pet Shop Boys (the world's greatest disco band) proved a few years later, you can have substantive content and wrap it up in a compelling, visceral, dance-oriented package. Few bands understood this better, or earlier, than Bronski Beat. [The Rhino edition features enhanced album art and four bonus tracks.] John Dougan, All Music Guide

80's Meets the Milleniumby Anonymous

March 19, 2001: A great CD, lots of good tracks, especially to remind you of the 80's...and it's still rocking in the 21st century! Definitely recommended. Songs from this album are also heard on soundtracks of movies such as ''Edge of Seventeen''. Super synth-pop era sound.
