14th studio album by The Durutti Column is a 15-track release issued on Kooky Records produced by Laurie Laptop [aka Laurie Lexicon, aka Laurie Keith] and Vini Reilly. The album has its own distinct 'dreampop' style. Before this, Reilly released the album Someone Else's Party (2003), in homage of his late mother. This album is entirely made by Reilly and it seems like an extraordinary personal and quiet, almost meditative, release, often done with unusual strumming on acoustic guitar. Only other performer on the album is Jill Taylor who adds vocal harmonies to many tracks. The album's title refers to the songs, and is underlined in the front cover, showing Reilly's conception of how "time flees".
