“The Sound of Progress is vital watch for anyone interested in the esoteric counter-culture. It shows a movement that impacted so many at the time (and continues to do so via the albums that these artists released) and still resonates to this day… A great film and one that is highly recommended.” (Louder Than War)

“It is great to see these angry young men hammering out their statements on what we may now see quite differently. Maybe the world of 1988 wasn’t that bad compared to 2016, with more and more poor people feeling dissatisfied and demanding (and getting!) strong leadership. The cold war ended and is now replaced by just coldness and love (Crass!) seems far away… there is no authority than yourself” (Vital Weekly)
