British (originally) Psych doom'n'gloom Rock. A great 25th anniversary album for an innovative fringe, yet musically influential, band, itself influenced by the likes of Syd Barrett. "Sound collages that melt into surprisingly catchy paisley-clad melodies" and lyrics that are between the socially-oriented to the disturbed, sung half-spoken with the gravelly voice of Edward Ka-Spel. Slow to mid-tempo. It's hard to pick favorites, all songs are good. No FCCs.

*1/1:46. Intro. School yard noises + naïve piano + spacey undertones for some weirdness, and a shrink asking if they can tell him about their nightmares.
2/6:55. Slow pounding industrial opening to a dark hymn-like song, which further melts into a psychedelic Pink Floydish chaos.
*3/6:56. A beautiful slow, gloomy piano accompanying a half-spoken song. Gentle electronica appears toward the end.
4/5:12. Here comes the paisley! Mid-tempo. A Donovan-like, but dark, song. One minute from the end, keyboards enter with a nice spooky solo.
5/6:36. Mid-tempo, rhythmic, industrial backbone to a creepy song with mid-eastern undertones. Ends with some psychedelics.
6/5:27. Chimes, acoustic guitar, singing and sax.
7/5:14. Rain stick pastoral opening to a melancholic acoustic-guitar-accompanied song. Becomes reverberatingly trippier toward the end.
8/7:52. A spooky opening to a monotonous depressive, yet peaceful, song.
*9/7:46. Mid tempo, monotonous song, but more Rockish. Guitars and drum. Becomes typical psychedelic Rock toward the end.
*10/6:44. A Jazzy moody sax piece with weather effects, that goes through a siren to become sort-of romantic electronic, and leads (2min from end) to someone discussing his mood swings. 11/2:24. Synth work leading to a spooky dreamy piano, as in track 1.
