What a thoroughly fantastic record this is!
I bought it on the strength of an e-mail from Anna with the Guardian review in it (or linked) and partly on a whim, partly to stop me overplaying the Kate Bush record (which I like). In true Naim style it arrived within about 48 hours, the recording quality is amazing, and the music is a near indescribable but beautiful melange of styles. Actually I won't even attempt to describe it, but it is very uplifting and supremely proficiently done.
I guess I buy a record every three months for no real reason or an irrelevant reason (the opinion of someone whose taste is unknown to me, fantastic cover art etc etc). Rarely have I been so pleasantly surprised and delighted as I have been with this.
I must search out more...
Thanks Anna and, of course, Nicolas & crew...
