5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best albums by one of the best bands, April 27, 2006

I've been a big Bats fan since about 1986 (where'd I put my Geritol...?) and I was really, really happy when I heard this record. I haven't really been fully on board with the Bats for a few years now -- iffy solo stuff, etc. -- but this lush, dreamy set of drony guitar songs swept me away... If you like the spacier stuff by their fellow kiwipopster, David Kilgour, then you'll love this record. Very nice, very mellow.

A beautiful album, IMO every bit as good as any of their previous work. Not as instantly catchy as some of their earlier albums, but just as addictive after a few listens. My current favorite songs are "Western Isles" and "Single File".

I think this may be my third favorite Bats' record. Caveat, I like Fear of God and Silverbeet best. Kudos to Octopus Overlords for letting us know this record was out!! I say GRAB IT!
