I was listening to this record again today and I remembered just how darn good it is. It seems really ahead of its time, it’s so unusual and innovative, kinda like Badly Drawn Boy in some ways, but mainly sounds like nothing else on earth. I think its an undiscovered masterpiece, Sad Sing I feel is just an all-time classic, but no-one mentions it. What does everyone else feel about it – by the way, if you don’t have it, track it down immediately! It is highly recommended and features Mike on a few tracks. Oh and does anyone have the CD release of the album – I vaguely remember it had some bonus tracks or something, demos featuring Mike I think. Anyway, what does everyone think about the record?

It's an album that I don't play very often, but I must admit it's very funny listening to.

I own a vinyl copy about some 20 years now and I remember being very lucky at the time that I found one since I recall it wasn't intended to be sold outside the UK.(don't now if this information is right...)

Sorry to say I can't help you out on info about the CD.

And now you've mentioned it I'll play it again soon but first I have to repair my pickup...argh
