Liner notes by Piers Martin (Uncut)

‘Life Is a Grand’ has become a word-of-mouth cult classic – a new-wave pop gem adored by those who’ve fallen for its many charms and which has so far eluded the algorithm. (Piers Martin)

“Badowski’s album has been likened to Bowie’s ‘Low’ on ecstasy rather than cocaine, thanks to its upbeat Berlin vibes and avant-synthpop sensibilities.” – Uncut 

Minimalist Post-Punk pop tunes - "Imagine if Brian Eno had produced Syd Barrett" (Phil King)

Henry was a member of The Damned & The Good Missionaries before embarking on a solo career. This album, his only full-length work provided 3 critically well-received singles.

"Something of a lost classic" (Matthew Higgs-New York Times)

"Hopefully this album will place these songs back into the pantheon of psychedelic post-punk pop greats". (Dan Selzer - Acute Records/New York Endless)
