  ## Critical reception
  
  "'Let's Push Things Forward' grew on me…" remarked Pink Floyd's David Gilmour. "It's forward-looking and anarchic. It has its own anti-big-company ethos, which I like. And it has strange little quirks of timing that I find very hard to use. Perhaps it will influence me in the future. I don't know. But it's nice to hear something that works which is outside your usual frame of reference."
