Interesting release on this solo project by highly experienced Woolly Wolstenholme, for most best known for being a founding member of Barclay James Harvest.

Most of the tunes here are calm, mellow and almost ballad type compositions, where carefully crafted and performed symphonic keyboard layers add a mood and atmosphere that transforms what basically are ordinary tunes into intriguing and fascinating experiences.

Variation are added by a few mid-paced rockers, two highly complex tunes where the music and lyrics interact in such a way that the lyrics have to be taken in to comprehend the musical context; and a couple of more offbeat tunes performed with sardonic humour.

A strong release, where the main weakness are the vocals - Wolstenholme isn't a young man anymore; and his voice is a bit too weak in parts of these songs.
