A slightly softer sound to this album compared to the last. More atmospherics, less mad drum ‘n’ bass mayhem. Yet still worthwhile, especially as it won’t scare your friends away.

Lantana
A gripping thriller with plot changes and twists to spare. (twist ‘n’ grip, and spare change, do you see?) It probably deserved a wider release than it got.
Beautiful Garbage
Magnificent, catchy pop music with artfully roughened edges, yet polished to a gleaming finish. I could listen to it all day long, and in fact have done on several occasions.
Mink Car — They Might Be Giants
A few excellent songs on this album, and it’s well worth a listen. But overall it lacks the magic of some of the older albums.
The Australian version comes with a bonus track, Boss of Me, which would improve the album by its absence.
