This album is very different from the other more ordinary Elkie albums, except for a few "standard" tracks, namely "Set Me Free" and "The Last Goodnight".
Overall the album is really experimantal, not really comparable with any previous or subsequent Elkie album.
It may sound "dissonant" at first, but after a few listenings you'll love every track.
Elkie's voice is powerful and rough. As it should be. Perfect on every track. Listen to the snippets and verify it yourself.
Give it a try. You won't reget it.

For me this is Elkie's best album to date. Songs mostly written by herself are ALL extremly strong. If you are wanting something like power ballads , then this is not for your.
This album is extremly edgy, with a very comtempory feel, rock, blues.Elkie's voice is powerful all the way through. Elkie is at her best singing this way.

According to the liner notes Elkie Brooks helped write most of the songs on this album herself, so she really only has herself to blame for the fact that most of them are instantly forgettable.
Unfortunately her voice sounds incredibly strained on a few of the tracks, and is quite painful to listen to as she strains to reach the notes on the opening track 'Morello'.
However, the set is redeemed by the beautiful 'The Last Goodnight', which was written in the 70's, and showcases Elkie's powerful voice to perfection, and the haunting track 'Modern Slaves' which brings the cd to an end.
It gets a star for each of these two songs, which are well worth a listen, but the rest of the tracks on this 2002 album are best forgotten.
