The album is one of my favorites. I compare it to like a loose mogwai and kinda in the vein of godspeed you black emperor, only I think it survived the death of that slow swelling post-rock genre. It's great on so many levels, for one it's more of a grouping of several songs which are largely experiments with loose song structure and uncommon instrument arrangements/sampling, save a few of the more concrete songs. How Animals Move (and the solo violin version) being one of the more concrete songs, is an amazing and well composed swelling/emotional/moving song. The low fi recording style/sound is very interesting and amazing in itself (over-reverbed violin solo song and sampling on several songs). This is a very unconventional album and definitely worth a listen!

This is one of the most satisfying albums. Songs are moody, dissonant, energetic at times. All around, John Parish was doing some very avante garde music around 92. Have this on CD and now am very pleased to own it on vinyl.

If you're looking for a mellow cd this isn't a bad choice. However, it is overproduced and lacks some heart. His style biting is rather apparent in some songs but it's okay, after all I own it.
