Record Collector 4 Stars ★★★★ - “a frequently jaw-dropping rollercoaster tale, Cosey pulls few punches”
The Wire - “Tutti's commitment to individualism precludes any wider political perspective on the industrial culture she helped to instigate, but this fierce adherence to herself… has taken her closer to the action than most”
The Guardian “Cosey Fanni Tutti… elder stateswoman of the avant garde” Book of the day.
Sunday Times - “Art Sex Music is an inspiring document of just how far, and far out, she has travelled”
MTV News - “this memoir is a rigorous extension of Tutti’s art-as-life philosophy in its most accessible form.”
