Although I loved their first album "Come From Heaven" I had read a review in URB magazine that sent up warning signals that I shouldn't get my hopes up too high about an equally satisfying follow-up. After several deep listens I can honestly say that this album is a complex work that will become more and more engaging each time you hear it. I concede to the URB reviewer that it's not as immediate as its predecessor, but the textures, tempos and especially the vocal performances from the lovely Helen White and Wendy Stubbs are equally bewitching as those on the last record if you let them work their magic over time. I salute Corin and Andy for taking time to experiment with real string arrangements and layers of silky burbling electronics and for crafting a kind of renegade lounge album, full of songs that ebb and flow mysteriously, never quite doing what you might expect them to. All in all, this is a classic record to chill to/make out with your partner to, and from there who knows what might happen. Gorgeous.
