3.0 out of 5 stars Nearly narcoleptic, but a cuddly, fuzzy set of tunes, November 15, 2005

By	John L Murphy "Fionnchú" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

A sleepily sung and lullingly played, very understated set of tunes. The band is barely there, and Isabel Monteiro & crew have retreated from the days when they or their manager vied to make them contenders in the Britpop, female-led division against the likes of Elastica. It's a fitting album for somnolent moods, but little will make you take notice. Fans of Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star or of the Velvet Underground's softer, contemplative array of songs may like these best.

"Wayward Daughter" is the stand-out number, but even it differs only in being slightly less fuddled. This is not really a criticism of the album proper, but be warned it is not one that'll make you get out of bed in the morning, but one that'll instead keep you under the warm covers.

(In this version it comes with an "Collector" disc of bonus tracks, b-sides and rarities, but as these are not detailed at all in the terse liner notes, their value to those of us not versed in the band's rarer discography may make them less than essential. They sound fine, but again, as with the "new" 2003 "Jet Set" offerings, will not raise the rooftops or get your next party hopping. Appropriate music, however, for the morning after, for better or worse depending on your head and mood.)

A great collection from one of the best indie bands of all time. A must buy for the price!

2.0 out of 5 stars No need to count sheep anymore, December 9, 2006

By	A. Magana "momio" (México City) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is oh so boring!
Couldn't be more slow and painful.
I almost crash while listening to it in my car. Should include a warning:
Do not listen when operating heavy machinery or driving.
Don't buy it!!!
