I loved the initial crescendo, particularly the photon torpedo sound slashing across the spectrum and I thought it was going to get very exciting but it plateau'd out,got rather "Orchestral Maneuvers"meets early "Cure" and left the drama behind.

There were some clever moments but it is entirely linear. It sounds again like two ideas for tracks welded together instead of either one developing.

Tremendously inventive, all the same but I think the identity is yet to be established.

I saw them a while back supporting Little Fish - I'm sure they were on first because they were too young to be in the venue after 9. Young, and very talented too.

This song reminds me of The Band Of Holy Joy in its ramshackle charm. The only difference I feel is that when BOHJ did a song, you could hear that the singer had experienced pain, torment, and pleasure in varying degrees.

Mind you people probably said the same when comparing BOHJ and Blind Lemon Meringue back when I was a lad.

PS. I believe it is Troubadours

Great track. Loads and loads of promise.
