User Reviews:
danster1908, Jul 18, 2008

Although Im sure this album was an after thought, it leaves some question in mind my as to the possibility of a "lost" albums worth of material. This, pulled together with the tracks from the Hes On the Phone single (which have the same production value as the exclusive tracks here), could have easily come together as one record. In the liner notes for Nice Price, Bob Stanley himself has referred to this period as the wilderness years. I wonder if the band was having a crisis of direction. Certainly the period that came after this marked a complete departure from what, up until then, categorized Saint Etienne as more of an electro pop outfit rather than the indie pop cred of the subsequent records. Its a crying shame that tracks such a Sometime in Winter were relegated to this obscure import-only jewel. Come on Bob; tell us more about the wilderness years, please?
