    I agree with previous reviewers, this is a stunning album. It's not perfect but it just seems to be far greater than the sum of it's parts. It's an album that few people have heard of, and for many it went completely under their radar, however if you're a fan of melodic psychedelia then you'll probably find a lot of love here. It doesn't fall into the trap of sounding 'retro' like a lot of music like this often does.You might even recognise the odd piece of music from various TV programmes and adverts that have used their music over the years - I recall hearing a lot of this album played by the BBC in particular. If you enjoy this album, I highly recommend checking out Sarah Lowe's Tomorrow's Laughter (she sang backing vocals on this album) and Kink Creosote's KC Rules OK (they collaborated around this period).
