All Music Guide Review:
Review by Ted Mills
The second in a series of hastily cobbled together outtakes and demos from Receiver, this collection has little to recommend it. What is one to make of a "techno" remix of "The Man Whose Head Expanded" that samples the original to no effect, or an instrumental of "Ed's Babe" that is slowed down with naff sound loops added? The live tracks even sound bogus. "Bombast" has some whistler in the audience, sounding looped, too. Strangely enough the most promising track is "Married, Two Kids" (from Code Selfish), live and just that more lively. Otherwise don't believe the hype (the "new track" "Fiend With a Violin" is actually a demo of "2x4"). Shoddy.
Mark Prindle Review:
Fiend With A Violin - Receiver 1996.
8 out of 10
This, on the other hand, is a damn fine live record. Sure, it's got another crappy version of "Bombast," but it's also got swell rockin' versions of "What You Need" and "Spoilt Victorian Child," as well as that great song "Haven't Found It Yet," which pleases me more than mere American words can say. Great songs here. Don't waste the money if you don't have it, but if you're a bonafide collector of live things, add this one to your collection, buck-o!

All three of the Receiver releases are absolute shit. All three are rehashed live or alternate takes of songs already released, invariably inferior. Nobody needs a demo version of the tracks from ShiftWork. The liner notes to Fiend with a Violin plugs the title track as "never before heard." What fucking bullshit. It's a demo of "2X4". Fall fans will buy them because we're all retarded, but avoid these if at all possible.
