"Every bit as good (if not better) than their previous effort - 'An Amazing Dream', see my review. It's been noted before that the last couple of Asteroid No. 4 discs sound a lot like songs from the late Syd Barrett archive. Every track here left me wanting more. For example "My Love" features some beautiful acoustic guitar playing, "Let It Go" resembles an undiscovered Syd Barrett composition (so much) featuring some killer harmonica playing, that you'll swear up and down it's a Barrett cover and the same goes with "She's All I Needed". Couple of other great songs this CD has to offer include "Hei Nau Lah", the shoegazing "She Touched The Sky" and the well-written "All Fall Down". Personnel: Scott Vitt-guitar & vocals, Eric Harms-guitar & bass, Aislim Van Kried-keyboards & vocals, Damine C. Taylor-bass and Adam Weaver-drums & vocals. Essential 21st century psychedelia. Very addictive."
