What if somebody moved the Madchester scene of the late 80's/early 90's to San Francisco, and then started producing music in the mid 90's. Well the result is without a doubt Dora Flood who create lush sweeping music with nice beats. Its not just the music, its the mood, the attitude, the dreamscape they create. The music doesn't stop, it will beat inside your head for days at a time. Simply beautiful.

This is a wonderfull album. The sounds are well mixed...if you like guitars, drums..synthesizers..hey, it's all in here. Also, the vocalist Michael P. has a great voice and has written some inspired lyrics. If you like the more psychadelic era of The Beatles, or Oasis (but this band's sound is not candy coated, like Oasis is in my opinion), you've gotta have this album. A definite must have for *any* modern/alternative rock collection !!!

This sounds like a cross between Blur and Death Cab For Cutie. And when was the last time you heard organ done Well in a pop band? I'll be looking for their older stuff, you bet.

What a gem of a record! I read a review of this c.d. in A.P. and bought it instantly. It's lush, full, moody -- I love the last 4 songs. Where are these guys from? They sound English, but without the pretention. I was up all last night and had this on repeat until 4 a.m.!

I live in S.F. and I've seen this band live. They really back up what the album does and take it a dimension further. Can't wait to here the next album. Anyone who is interested in good new psychedelic pop should buy this album.

This album is perfect! Every note is just where you want it to be. One of the best bands in the last 10 years.
