The pinnacle Cardiacs record.
Dark, abrasive, distorted, heavy, heartfelt beautiful pop masterpiece.
Maybe Tim’s answer to britpop, shoegaze and metal…and tops all here, even MBV’s Loveless.
I believe this album was very misunderstood by the old hardcore fans. I think they felt alienated by heavier, more abrasive and distorted sound Tim was introducing…but he was only bringing his unique brand of pop music ten steps ahead as ever.
Lyrically maybe the most dark and personal of Tim’s offerings.
A must-hear work of genius (or course).
Probably my fave…with On Land And In The Sea, and ghostly Guns close by.
Not a duff track here. All serve an important
purpose.
‘Walk in shadow, walk in dread, loosefish walk as like one dead’
Please enjoy.
Home of Fadeless Splendour, Helen and Heaven, March, For Good And All, Core, Day Is Gone and Snakes-A-Sleeping are as beautiful songs come. Really such a fantastic album.
