18th studio album by The Durutti Column issued on Kooky Records produced by ? [Vini Reilly?]. Feb. 2008 he had released a live album, Live in Bruxelles 13.8.1981, and still of 2008 he released the soundtrack album Treatise on the Steppenwolf (OST) both issued on LTM Recordings. This is like Tempus fugit (2004) a collection of quietness and soulful ballads with Reilly primarily picking his guitar strings, acoustically or electrified, but often with little additional instrumentation. The album is dedicated to Reilly's girlfriend Poppy Morgan (aka Poppy Roberts). It's quiet, nice and very fine.
