This release slightly encompasses the sounds of Sheppards other bands ( The God Machine and the May Queens) along with the beauty of the acoustic tones of Sophia. A perfect mix that makes this CD a MUST have. Highlights are 'Swept back' 'Desert Song no.2' 'Darkness'. Track 6 'If a Change Is Gonna Come' is pretty heavy and musicaly another highlight of the CD, although hampered by a cliche chourus. My initial reaction to 'I left You' being on this CD was negative. I mean, this is the third Sophia release to include that song. Why they couldn't have put a b-side like 'someday', from the 'Oh My Love' EP on this album instead I don't know. But this version of I left you, is the best one and it's a very good song. I would have loved to hear a new studio version of 'Ship in the sand'. Sophia Just keeps on getting better and better. This cd will most likely be on permanent rotation in my player.

I am always amazed when a release of this quality does not receive the widespread recognition it deserves. While I have nothing specific to add that the other reviewer has not said, I do consider this essential listening, much like Catherine Wheel, Talk Talk, etc. If you are hesitating, you should do yourself a favor and get it.

Note, this Sophia has nothing to do with the CD deal offered by Amazon for Sophia ~ Return. Different bands. Hidden Waters, Chakra, etc. Those are not the Robin Proper Sheppard band. Pay attention, Amazon.
