Both Music Week and the Guardian compared Fischerspooner to notoriously ridiculous 80s skamsters Sigue Sigue Sputnik this week, following the electroclash darlings' live debut in London.

"It is as if Sigue Sigue Sputnik have been cast in a regional production of Starlight Express," the Guardian sniffed, while the Standard concluded, "Fischerspooner are not really for people who love music."

Like Fischerspooner, Sigue Sigue Sputniks launched on a sea of hype, makeup and cyber-goth clothes, though failed to prosper beyond their frantically manufactured first hit single. Whether Fischerspooner survive beyond electroclash's current fashionability remains to be seen.
