A superb moment in lush acoustic pop has arrived, just as we who search for taste and musicality were dying a little in the hybridized post-modernism of the nineties. Take time with your favourite friend to share an hour over this album. It features sublime musicianship with the delicate vocalizing of one of the more modest geniuses in Australia's musical community, David Bridie. Think of sweetened Tom Waites mixed with equal shares of Tim Hardin and Nick Drake and you have the man's incomporable chords. The lyrics stand as poetry. The ensemble of musicians weave a tapestry that is always smooth and understated, but the joyous swirl of "Your Ship Has Gone" is like walking through a spring sun shower. This is a sumptuous recording that belongs in the collection of every discriminating music collector. It is a worthy successor to the eponymous first album, and the much-admired second offering,"Brood". Listen and savour - this group's work towers over most comparable releases like a cathedral among booths.
