Fucking masterpiece. One of ones I take for granted cos it's not as immediately catchy as "not in my airforce." I'm listening to "Second Step..." right now. I like that surreal ambient ditty. just when it risks going on a bit too long, that guitar comes out of nowhere and makes the tune.

You really nailed the description of some of its most elusive tracks (Waved Out and Pick Seeds), but I would give 5 to Make Use and Whiskey Ships (which are as good as Subspace) and 4 to Vibrations, Caught Waves, Wrinkled Ghosts, People Are Leaving, Rumbling Joker (a 1, really?) and Second Step Next Language (which is really close to a 5).<br /><br />Showbiz Opera Walrus is the only skipper. Mediocre tracks such as Just Say the Word or Steeple of Knives flow very nicely as well.João Pedro da Costahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06771650386957629381noreply@blogger.com
