Review by e-music May 18, 2004
This album contains two of the best tracks the Legendary Pink Dots ever made. The piano-based ballad "The Lovers (Part One)" is very atmospheric and deeply moving. 15 years after its release it is an absolute classic that has not lost one bit of its magic. This is THE stand out track of their career and alone worth buying the album. Also very nice is "The Lovers (Part Two)" though not everyone may like the heavy strings. The rest of the album is average experimental synth-pop.
