Like many I came to this album through David Sylvian's recommendation. And thank you Mr. Sylvian for pointing us in the direction of such wonderful tracks as The Siren Songs, Yonderhead and All That Numbs You. Sure, this album is dark and moody but it's also uplifting and vibrant, in the style of Nick Cave and - dare I say it - Sylvian at his best. If you like your music to be thoughtful, timeless and engaging, this is the stuff for you. If you want something to tap your feet to, sitting on the M25 in your Audi, forget it. Now all I need to do is dissuade my wife from running off with Mr. Feiner (she is rather taken with his chiselled jaw, me thinks).
