"Secret Army may have just sent electronic music back several decades as far as musical evolution with the release of It's Just a Container. Not only do they attempt to mix together Funk, Jazz, and other Groove elements, but they also threw in Disco, Synth-Pop, and Wave, thereby creating a collection of some of the most atrocious genres of music ever written. On top of it all, they throw in Porn samples, lounge music, guitars, and modern Dance elements to create this bizarre Pop hybrid of just about every conceivable electronic genre in existence. Unfortunately, I can see how the Alternative and Pop music press will eat this band up as the next new hit act. Today's popular music acts seems to all be going through the electronic hybridization that has given us such annoying acts as Beck and Bjork. I can't understand why the credit carrying public enjoy this type of music because it is painful to listen to, but no matter the reason, I predict Secret Army will join the same ranks, no matter how atrocious I may consider their music to be."
Sonic Boom (1998)

"A meandering societal kaleidoscope, rock with an electronic base. Tons of samples used almost as much as vocals, with plenty of musical musings. Kinda like an extremely trippy Chemlab with even more reliance on assembled sonic bits and pieces.

What's truly impressive is the musical range exhibited. Secret Army can morph from hardcore industrial to something in the ambient realms to clubby techno stuff, all without sounding like much of a stretch. In fact, if there is a problem, it's that the band hasn't really defined itself very well at all. But I take this disc as a journey of sonic exploration and everything that comes with such an excursion. The parts don't necessarily fit when placed right next to each other, but taken as whole the project is rather fulfilling.

Fun and substantial. Secret Army has assembled a disc full of attractive and complex electronic pieces. A mess at times, but a well-ordered one, in any case. Wowsers."
