| AllMusic |   [3] |
Ned Raggett of AllMusic awarded Outlive Your Enemies four out of five stars, describing the album as "brilliant" and saying it "captured the duo still slamming out some gripping electronic rage, but with a new tunefulness and drama that made them even more special than before." [3] The critic also said "Babyland play around with a variety of sounds and approaches on Outlive, some being newer takes on older approaches – the synth-horn driven grandeur of "Hillhurst," the frazzled protest in "Mini Mall."

Dan Gatto is an American musician best recognized as the vocalist for synth punk band Babyland. He also collaborated with Vampire Rodents composer Daniel Vahnke on a project called Recliner. After Babyland dissolved in 2009, Gatto founded Continues as an outlet for his solo work.
The Clay People is the third studio album by American rock band the Clay People. It was released on May 12, 1998, by Slipdisc Records.
Substatic is the fourth solo album by New Zealand composer Peter Jefferies, released on September 29, 1998 through Emperor Jones. One of his most musically ambitious and emotionally complex efforts, it marks Jefferies' return to the completely instrumental format he had previously explored on his 1987 album At Swim 2 Birds.
You Suck Crap is the debut studio album of Babyland, released in 1992 by Flipside Records.
A Total Letdown is the second studio album by Babyland, released on March 4, 1994, by Flipside Records.

Forever Alien is the third studio album by British space rock band Spectrum, a project led by Peter Kember under the pseudonym Sonic Boom. It was released in August 1997 by Space Age Records. After the band's preceding EP Songs for Owsley (1996) moved them away from guitar-oriented music and towards electronic music, Forever Alien furthered this approach considerably, as Kember aimed to create a predominately electronic album that sounded organic and analogue in style. The record is dominated by vintage analogue synthesizers, including the EMS VCS 3 and EMS Synthi AKS. Kember had become fascinated by the synths as he felt they presented him with more musical possibilities than guitars.
Killer is the fourth and final studio album by Swamp Terrorists, released on March 25, 1996 by Cyberware Productions. The band expanded their membership during the recording sessions with the inclusion of bassist Andrej A., percussionist Piet H. and guitarist Spring.
