Editorial Reviews

Produced by Ben Hillier who has worked with Blur & Elbow. Tom's self-titled debut album, released in 2000, announced the arrival of a rare & singular new talent. It's subsequent Q Magazine, Mercury Prize & Brit nominations merely confirmed a major talent had arrived. The album, of course, went on to figure in the end-of-year Top 10 lists of Q, The Observer, Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Times, Independent & Time Out, 'Just Like Blood' marks a huge step forward. In terms of sound, scope & style, it is a bigger, braver & possibly even darker work than its acclaimed predecessor. It feels contemporary, yet stands alone. The themes of the album are again dislocation & dissatisfaction & desire for escape.

This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music by a relatively unknown artist, July 24, 2005

This is my first review but i felt i really had to write a review. Tom Mcrae is not very well known but that doesnt mean that his music isnt worth listening to - quite the contrary. Once you get into this album you notice how unique the music is. He is really talented and the music is really beautiful. Although 1 or 2 of the songs are maybe just mediocre, there are one or two songs on here such as "You only disappear" which are one of the best songs ive heard. So i beg you - give this one a try!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite, November 11, 2004

I bought this album on the strength of Tom McRae's debut (titled Tom McRae) thinking that it couldn't possibly be better...but I was wrong. It is in a word: exquisite. Lyrically and melodically haunting with its perfect combination of vocals and strings. Some favorite songs are: Human remains, Day Like Today, and Walk 2 Hawaii.

These songs are mesmerizing, haunting, & melodic. Buy this and his debut and you've got the perfect soundtrack to your sad/beautiful life. Tom McRae would sell millions of cds in my ideal universe.
