Comment by Magic Marmalade:
Gentle on my mind.
Having recently found myself in need of a lighter brand of more sympathetic music, I revisited this, not being in the frame of mind for my usual brand music, and this was just the ticket, and I. at last, was in a place where I could appreciate it for it's own virtues...
...After the initial grungy, grimy tack: Stolen Car, it kind of floats and weaves, and meanders in that loose, almost ramshackle way reminiscent of Astral Weeks (well, it reminded me of that anyway, in this specific sense. if not musically, or stylistically). and it has a certain grace and elegance to it for all that.
A wonderful balm for my aching, wretched being that helped me get on through, and nursed me back to me again, like a collection of timely lullabies and sympathy.
Strange how you can own some albums for a while, but just not get into them, until you hit a space in your brain that magically unlocks one day, and admits it into your deeper being.
Now an audio feature of my speakers. :)
