Reviews
Picked up a used US copy for ten bucks. Bargain.
This album could soundtrack almost anything.
Sublime rhythmic ambient folk rock.
From start to finish all I could think was its like having Kraftwerk pick up instruments and perform for the village fair.... Stunning.- Edited 16 years agoA substantial amount of the tracks on this album was used in the soundtrack of the Australian movie 'Malcolm' [Nadia Tass, 1986].
The almost naively exploring character of the compositions highly sustain the atmosphere of the movie; one of the best movie-soundtracks I know. If you don't like the music -which is unheard of- at least see the movie...
