This album gets the most plays in the home out of any other CD. After seeing Steve supporting Jadis at Mr. Kyps live music venue in Poole, Dorset, he impressed me so much I had to buy the album. The last time he appeared, my wife came along and was equally impressed, hence the large amount of plays. Steve has a Peter Gabriel type voice, which is immediately addictive and more than pleasing to hear. It is impossible, I think, not to enjoy his music, and the sounds within the songs illustrate as much as the lyrics. And yes, lyrically he paints amazing pictures, and I recommend this to any rock fan out there. If you can catch him live, do so. He plays acoustic and sings to backing tracks from the album, but when you hear it you'll realise why, as most have so many sounds and instruments within them, it'd take quite a large stage to house the necessary musicians. An exceptional talent, an exceptional album, it deserves ten stars rather than the five we are permitted.
