Reviews4 stars out of 5 - "Filled with the same surging, oblique melancholy and longing that has sustained The Blue Nile since 1984...", 4 stars out of 5 - "Music of great subtlety, their oddly humane drum-machines, evocative synthesizers and clean Fenders lent extra class by Paul Buchanan's plaintive, ever-more-soulful howl.", "The music remains the same: crystalline midtempo soundscapes in which regret and ecstasy twine into a spiritual double helix." - Grade: A, Ranked #27 in Uncut's "Best New Albums of 2004" - "Both cerebral and sentimental....They inspire devotion because they feel it like few others."
So often these days new records are badly pressed, warped or other issues. This is a great pressing, no background noise, flat and sounds so much better than the CD I had for so many years...
Certainly worth it!
