This is an excellent cd,beautifully produced,though professional music critics might bleat otherwise stating that it was a rush job to fulfill contracts,maybe they should have given it a longer listen before rushing out to discover the next hot band. The songs are well crafted and melodic and although Cannibal Surf Babe doesnt sit to well in between Gazpacho and BeautiFul[a more suitable first track i think],the rest is pure perfection. Directions for listening are as follows.1 open bottle of wine.2 turn lights down. 3. start cd 4. enjoy.....This is the 4th time ive bought this cd the rest of them have been played to death.
