I thought this was going to be heavy metal when Neil nominated it, with a name like that. How wrong I was! Interesting, subtle, intelligent, musical, and that's just Neil. This album's a grower, the more you play it the more you find yourself humming along.

Yet another visionary prophet as East Van punk

A 70's throwback singer-songwriter doing a relentlessly wistful, overly wordy and poetic album, with a slightly camp semi-spoken vocal throughout should really be more annoying than it turns out to be. It is actually a pleasant listen, full of musical ideas that sit together nicely and although there aren't huge changes in sound there's enough to keep you interested. Nice one.

Another talented musician, but with little special to say.

One man; one guitar; one ego; a whole collection of Bowie albums. Not unpleasant - but one of many. Why would anyone buy this above the others?
