| one of those albums I love to hear front to back every time |
| Cracking album this was! Enjoying this one RP! |
| ..has some Stranglers similarities..the offbeat syncopation (or whatever you'd call it) smacks of Golden Brown , no?..(sorry if previously mentioned..didnt read thru all).. |
| Must have heard this song played at least a dozen times prior, and without incident. For some reason this morning I find it particularly indigestible. |

Stephen Merchant was also part of it. Ahhh... the glorious days of Xfm! To me it went downhill when Lauren Laverne left her breakfast slot years ago. Greetings from London. |
| Didn't know anyone even knew of this album, and one of the best songs on it... thanks Bill and Rebecca! Hadn't come across it on RP yet, nice to hear, hope to hear some of the others from it as well. |
| One of my first albums for the student years. Most excellent. |
| that's fun |

| Tuune! |
| Family favourite that never sounds tired. Brilliant. |
| Yes, but let's add some Pre-fab Sprout - WTH, no-one will notice.... |
| - "Hey guys, what if we use some Dave Brubeck's Take Five arranges in our stuff?" - "Dont know this Dave, but I liked!" - "Yep, gonna write down the lyrics..." |

| The standout track from his first album (for me anyway). I loved it when it came out. . . love it now. . . it still tingles my lugholes and thus can only be a rare 10. |
