This is my fifth album. It is my favourite album so far. It's the first one to have no beats. The first track is undeniably beautiful. I could listen to it all day. The second track is quite nice but it is hampered by the cliche of lapping waves - which I tried to distort unrecognisably - and failed. Those lapping waves are like dry rot. Once you have it you can't get rid of it. The third track is bleak and fairly bad - it is the grit in the oyster. Every good album needs one. It's Yellow Submarine. The fourth track is good. The fifth track has the ambient cliche of lapping waves again. This time it was completely inadvertant and I never bothered to try to cure the curse. The final track is nice. Overall - an uneven album. Somehow, the bad bits are brilliant because they make the good bits better.
