    7/10 from me after a few listens. Very close to getting an 8. Definitely a band I'll be keeping an eye on.

    Not bad - but I thought I was going to like it more from Tim's description.

    Not really my cup of tea I'm afraid. I did manage to listen to the whole thing though I don't dislike it, but it's not something I'd ever buy or probably listen to again, so it's getting 4/10 from me.

    Thanks for voting Mark.

    I'm surprised not many folk have voted or listened to it, but at least nobody has given it a zero (yet!).

    I couldn't give it a zero as I didn't dislike it I'm sure the very same could be said by someone that doesn't tend to listen to what I normally would (if they did), but it just appeared to be all very similar. Nothing kind of jumped out at me

    It's been my first chance to listen to it today. Not a band I've heard of before. Kind of reminiscent of some other bands with a sound that gives me a little deja vu. Think I'll give it 7/10 but will listen to it some more.

    I'm absolutely loving feeding hi-bitrate Spotify through the system using my Logitech SB Touch. This is a great way to evaluate albums I don't have. The SQ of this album is very good indeed.

    Absolutely Martin and it really shines when you hear it properly and not on Spotify - I bet the 180g vinyl is very good.

    Shame not many seem to have given it a go, I think its an exceptional album.

    It is an exceptional recording Martin and it will grow on you if you play it more than a few times - I bet it sounds good on 180g vinyl
    Yolanda's voice is truly wonderful (IMHO).
