Surface Of The Moon
This album has got to be bought if only for one song. and that is Surface of The Moon! Its absolutly spinetinglingly focking beautiful mystiqual romantic
slice of pure nirvana you will ever hear.
I was in India on a bus going down to Kovalam Beach and had tjis on stoned off me box on local weed and man i had taers rollin down me cheeks!111!!!
Yeah they were a graet band and certainly captured early 90's rock at its best but its the one song that you are remembered for and for me any way this is the one. pure heaven!!

...before you go out, change everything
A third slice of the scottish rockers recorded history is a varied set of hard rocking pop songs with the icing that is Justin Currie's voice and thoughtful lyrics. The band is also becoming a tighter unit, with the guitars of Iain Harvie adding lots of hard and soft tones to the 12 songs here.

Highlights are the 3 hit singles "Always The Last To Know", "Be My Downfall" and "Just Like A Man", though songs like "When You Were Young" and "The Ones That You Love Lead You Nowhere" could also have been creditable singles.

The band develop their twin guitar sound and the drumming is more powerful than earlier albums, which peaks in the closing track "Sometimes I Just Have To Say Your Name", which has some excellent slide guitar and witty lyrics about anticipating meeting a loved one after time apart.

Well produced by Gil Norton too.

Totally Underrated
One of my favourite albums. The songs are great but the lyrics are fantastic - a real heartbreaker and just what is required when love has let you you down.

Most people will recognise the sentiments behind songs like "Be My Downfall" and "To Last a Lifetime". The up tempo "Just Like A Man" also covers its subject in a comprehensive fashion.

Jealousy, unrequited love, betrayal - all present and correct. The fact remains that if this album had been made by someone more critically lauded (or a male singer such as David Gray or similar) it would be hailed as a classic and sell millions.

Get it and wallow.
