Ok I lied. Im a few days late whoops sorry friends.

And well this is another album through this club that Ive quite enjoyed. Im betting its something that Id need to be in the mood for, but I wasnt disappointed by any of my listens to it and thats a plus. Parts of this reminded me of Depeche Mode or maybe Roxy Music, I think because of the vocal style and the dark atmosphere of some of the songs (like Before the Bullfight). Neither of which is a bad thing. And then it goes into the more ambient half and Im in love. The Healing Place and Answered Prayers are gorgeous and the rest of the album is basically perfect. If theres one complaint I have its that I think id rather just listen to the second half but still.. I quite like the first half too. River Man is one of my favs here as well.

All in all outstanding album and one I will definitely return to quite a bit. Ill have to dig more into Sylvian's stuff too as I have very limited knowledge on his works.

oops forgot rating. Im gonna go ahead and give it an 8/10
