Don't Listen to the first review, he's approaching it from the wrong side. The music is not full of cliche's.. Thats just It! McCoy is the Genuine thing.. Influences are drawn from Occult/Literate sources, IE. Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Peter Caroll, Shakespear, Milton, Zoroastrianism etc.. You name it he's read it. Which gives us a deeply poetic outcome. As for the music, it's all very atmospheric, (Andy Jackson (Pink Floyd) Produced it). The Music has a rock element but with an Classical (maybe I dont know what I'm talking about here) arrangement. This is not for the faint hearted. The music is very dark and spiritual, and you will never find anything else as authentic as it in the World. The Fields are an experience not just a Band. If you get the chance to see them live go.. This is the best produced live album I have ever heard. If you want a culture shock, or are open minded get it.
