ah, this is good. Momus in the raw. emotionally cynical and bare. there are some great songs on this album, unfortunately, most of them were included on the 4-track EP. Momus must've felt there was an album in there and well, he was wrong. the songs The precocious miss young calloway, the criminal gibbous moon, and, at a stretch, the title song are all worthy of the best of his work but as an album it flounders.Baloney Polonius is a classic (check out the video on youtube) but half-sketched songs like futura bold and the teacher are almost a parody of earlier better songs. My advice is to download those songs you like and leave the rest to the hardcore momus fan. i downloaded the whole cd and look at me now.
