"WFB heralded what would possibly be TMTCH's finest hour, in the late 80's. Stuffed with trademark band talent; songs of the sea, of the land, of lives entwined - historic yet still paralleled in modern times. But bewarned! This is no dull folk platter! Check out the initial track 'The Crest' with its uptempo weave of rocking beats,breakneck mandolin and scathing vocals. Even more dazzling is 'Bounty Hunter' with lyrics you will HAVE to singalong with. Equally heartwarming, 'Dover Lights' slows the pace, along with 'Islands in the Rain';beguiling and vibrant. Taste the salty seaspray, inhale the smog, experience Blighty without the need of leaving home. If you only want totry one TMTCH album from their outstanding catalogue...get this!"
