3rd studio album by The Durutti Column. The style on the two first album was dark and mellow, reflecting the close connection to the post-punk environment, but this release shows another side to Reilly's many talents. Here, one hears an apparent ambient style, a noticeable jazz-element, and also a clear bond to modern classical compositions.
