Following in the footsteps of THIS IS CINERAMA, this compilation of radio sessions and live performances may not be a good introduction to Gedge & Co. but makes for a nice alternative listening experience to the studio albums. The first session is a tad shaky, but things get better rapidly; "146 Degrees" and the amazing "Reel 2, Dialogue 2" (their most underrated B-side) are highlights, as is their lively cover of the Turtles' "Elenore." Audio quality is very good.

For fans of the band Cinerama, this is an excellent offering of Peel Session recordings. Great selection of material with outstanding performances and excellent sound quality. Also serves as a great introduction to the music of this fine band. Crafty, acoustic-based pop music from David Gedge (formerly of the Wedding Present).

this is a fantastic pieces, so sweet, so sad, so beautiful. You can listen their beautiful melodies by flute, some string, acoustic guitar and Gedge's vocal.

Let's play!!

Drama queen David Gedge of The Wedding Present sings songs about love and broken relationships in his British accent. Most songs use some combination of male and female vocals, piano, organ, flute, and sometimes strings. The album did not speak to me, although most songs are catchy. The acoustic version of "Pacific" is nice, but the one of "Dance, Girl, Dance" is just BAD. The lyrics tend to be on the melodramatic side so it gets old real fast.
