An extraordinary record. Each song is it's own little universe, revealing more of itself with each listen.
There's such depth to the lyrics and a casual, offhand virtuosity. These are some timeless songs here.
Stick on some headphones, it'll get stuck on for you too

We've been watching the Listeners on BBC. What a show. Acting, cinematography are on point, sound design and music push it into top tier status

Saw the Colin Currie group perform MF18M a few years ago, and found this record today. It has incredible clarity and layered depth compared with the more smudgy, impressionistic 1998 recording.
One of the finest hours of music.

I've been thoroughly enjoying Brighter Shores this week, it has some of the best music I've heard in a videogame in ages, courtesy of one of my oldest pals Joe Gilder. Anyone else been playing? #gameaudio

After only one listen this has lept into contention for my record of the year. Incredible songwriting and minimal classy production.
