I love Tunng, but I really struggle with this album, it's too twee.

It's the loosing of that funny way of putting vocals quite wide in te soundstage that I sometimes can't get on with in the earlier albums!...
It's doesn't ruin them by any stretch, it's just a bit off putting if your in the wrong mood!

I gave it another listen - and without realising it, agree that it doesn't hold your attention if you get distracted (although what does?) - Still not decided - I like it - but quibbling between 6 , 7 & 8 at the mo...

Humour: One of the few things worth taking seriously
7, in the end - "not too bad at all" - I will probably get a copy if I can find one cheap enough, and enjoyed it enough to want to check out their earlier work, so thanks for introducing this one to us Simon.

Very a happy to oblige. not a classic but something new and quite pleasant. Not sure my Godflesh rec over on the Wam had the same positive outcomes as this one
Okay, I'll fez up. I've got this album but I'm not sure why.
It's okay but I think this probably sums up my feelings about Tunng......
