Like the debut album, Electronic Eden was produced by Steve Lillywhite and engineered by Mark Richardson.[1]
Critical reception[]
Robert Christgau thought that "despite its dull initial impact every track will give up a hook."[2]Trouser Press wrote: "Lillywhite concocts a thick, heavy sound that subjugates [Tom] Gray’s synthesizers and Rick Price’s aggressive guitars to the tunes themselves. And for good reason: Gray’s songs are tart accounts of love and confusion perfectly suited to his dry, sardonic voice."[6]The New York Times wrote that "the lyrics delineate urban landscapes and some strangely disturbing situations - a man whose friend has been traumatized by an accident, a couple who are in love but keep getting on each other's nerves - vividly and economically."[4]
