Because of good Martin has with his 2nd solo album the Dave (Album coming in June) placed a fairly high benchmark. Although Counterfeit 2 is the "predecessor" not even remotely similar, but if you look at the last DM albums, which sounded as beautiful as the previous one? Anyway, he is firmly behind the synths and what I like about the album. It is really good to chill out or dozing. The first single, "Stardust" has indeed no charts Quality in my opinion but you can hear on in. Rather like me as "Cast a Lonesome Shadow" and "Tiny Girls" (Nick Cave Cover), a smoother synth song. The German piece (Marlene Dietrich once sang) has a cool athmosphere. Generally remember some sounds but to the Exciter album, which I also liked getting better only after repeated listening. Definitely great cover versions, which would have also expected otherwise of such a grandiose songwriter and composer who is plus incidentally working on new DM-material ..
