I play this album so often. I never get tired of it. I love that it is only 32 minutes long as you can fit it in often, in between doing other things. I am listening now, near field and loud, totally engrossed in the sound hearing all the lovely background detail. Fabulous. Album of my Year.

A storming 5th and 6th. This year has finished on quite a musical high for me and this is one good reason.

 Think I'll join you. For some reason I am finding it hard to get into this.

If you haven't got this why not? This is a very very good record. Easy to spot it is a very good as it has the hallmark of quality from the last of the great progressive rock bands - the Ozric Tentacles. OK so they wouldn't get many votes on X-Factor, but what's wrong with that I'd like to know. They also do the best cover art along with Blackmore's Night. How nice to see covers without a mug-shot of the artist or some extreme cover to designed to shock granny; yes the group that gave MTV a miss and made music their number 1 priority. 


Surely one of the top 10 releases of the year.

Let's hope it works this time! The album is so simple and charming I am sure it will hit the spot soon.

Still not doing it but will keep trying. I had the same feeling towards Jazz. I found that no matter how many times I tried it just left me cold. I persevered and now I'm slowly getting it. So I think I will play  this before bed On Vinyl

Not played for a while. Tom Smiths voice sure stood out from the crown 6 years ago.

 

This is coming out soon...
