I was lucky to have this album before its release. What charm, what a beauty. Beck returns to the hushed atmosphere. Démarent acoustic songs very quickly and Nigel Goderich arrangements come caressing the guitar to give us one of those albums that scotchent us in bed one Sunday ... But a regret remains: although superb, this album was already released early 98 under another name: "The Magical World of the Strands" Mr Michael HEAD (eg Pale Fountains). Listen again this masterpiece and you'll see that for once, Beck and Nigel have absolutely anything up. One could almost speak of plagiarism. But I must be wrong, they had certainly never heard this record ...
