“Inspired by the 80’s D.I.Y. electronic tape culture, Plague Pits play funeral music to accompany the misstep of man on earth, and the sound is as fascinating as the described situation is bleak [...] Transnecropolitan is like an 80’s minimal-synth-wave soundtrack of a documentary that describes a decaying process of society in 7 episodes"” - Swiss Dark Scene
“Minimalistyczna czarno-biała estetyka okładek kolejnych wydawnictw Plague Pits to niejako zapowiedź ich formy muzycznej, na którą składają się: oszczędne, rytmiczne brzmienia analogowych syntezatorów, z wyczuciem dozowana melodyjność, dobre teksty śpiewane przez znakomity męski głos, a także swoista – niemal synth popowa – lekkość, której zdecydowanie najwięcej jest właśnie na najnowszej płycie; pod tym względem moim faworytem jest kompozycja „Divide – Subtract”.” - Szymon Gołąb
“There’s a certain perversity to invoking the revolutionizing of the means of production while invoking a distinctly throwback style of synthesized music, but it certainly seems like Plague Pits are cognizant of the friction between those ideas, and the energy it produces. Take for example “Divide – Subtract”, where their dry, minimal synthpop contrasts spry leads that ping pong across the stereo spectrum with a dour vocal that laments the reduction of human life to easily digested and measured numbers. Or how the snappy drums and chittering synths of the title track have a claustrophobic menace to them, complimenting a simple and wistfully delivered paean to a promised future that never seems to arrive and the wonders it might have possessed. Harnessing that early continental synth sound so ably, even on instrumentals “Future Poetry” and the robotically funky “Desiring Machines” is half the battle, but the other half (as evidenced on the sampled political screed that accompanies “Spectators”) is creating some contextual framework for its digestion and reiteration so many years after its heyday.” - Alex Kennedy
