I had lost track of Vini Reilly - did not realize he was still out there. Thanks for bringing it all back! I do like this, but not as strong as his earlier material from the mid eighties |

28 albums in 30 years - I guess you don't have to like all of his work in order to appreciate his accomplishment.

You guys just pulled off an absolutely beautiful and incredible and flawless transition to this song from Nellie McKay (w/ K.D. Lang) -You Had it Right. That was just fantastic.
really nice atmospheric song. |

I simply must wonder what those who disparage this are hearing. This is a really nice piece of music, isn't it? Should be sufficient by itself.

Voice is reminiscent of early Brian Eno. Anyone hear that?

I'm a sucker for his tuning and the tone he gets from his guitar. An instrumental CD would be fine by me....

Loving this. Not a band I had ever heard anything by, until hearing the also fantastic Nina on RP recently.
