âOutstanding songs, execution and productionâ : Aural Innovations
âOne of the best albums Iâve heard this year... I can recommend it from the bottom of my heart to all those reminiscing the Summer Of Love, and everyone into '60âs styled psychedelic and melodic rockâ : Psychotropic Zone
âNot since The Dukes Of Stratosphere has this period been resurrected so wellâ : Terrascope Online
âWhat I found most amazing about this album is how familiar it all sounds... After only one play, I was singing along almost like I had known the album for years. The songs are very contagious at first listen and when inspected closer reveal many complex layersâ : Progressive Ears


Tracks:

1. âThe Ice Cream Song.â A psychedelic mini-symphony of ice cream, guitars and a choir,
set in Cambridge. âLovely ice cream, summery dream, Iâve got a raspberry one, youâve got
a strawberry oneâ¦â

2. âTruth Fairy.â Another mini-symphony with psychedelic guitar and hallucinatory vocals.
âTune in, turn on, drop outâ¦â

He takes his Hammond with him. âSylvester the protester took a train from Flint near Chesterâ¦â

4. âWouldnât It Be Good?â A request for peace. âWouldnât it be good if there hadnât been a Jesusâ¦?â

5. âIn Time.â Insane fuzz-guitars and massive drums underpin a tale of nature and sensory
experience. âGreen is where itâs at, red is so old hat, blue is only tatâ¦â

6.** âHaight-Ashbury.â Sound collage meets spoken word in bad-trip fusion of music and
found sounds.

7.** âEarly Mornings.â Druggy Indian sounds both underpin and ornament a tale of early-morning
mental questing. âSpirits you sent me to sleep, half past threeâ¦â

8.** âEnglish Wisdom.â Byrds-esque guitars and a harpsichord help relate this tale of landscape
and nature-love. Written by Paul Rowley. âUnder rocks and bones, over stepping stonesâ¦â

9. âDiamond Cutter.â Garage sound and bouncing Hammond underpin a story of helping others
and yourself. Written by Paul Rowley. âDiamond cutter steps in time across the moonlit hillsâ¦â

10. âLament For Guy Fawkes.â Stripped-back song wondering what might happen if, 400 years
later, we succeeded in carrying out Guy Fawkesâ plan. âWalk with me into old London Town,
side by side letâs burn Parliament downâ¦â

11. âThe Tea Song.â Floyd-esque opening mutates into massive choir and guitars finale with
euphoric tune. âIf youâre feeling blue and lonely, have a cup of teaâ¦â


More Reviews:

âThis is definitely not space rock but fans of that style should have no trouble accepting this one. Fans of early Pink Floyd, Blossom Toes, The Beatles and just about any 60s psychedelic pop should check this one outâ : Progressive Ears

âThis album is wonderful, invoking the sounds of the psychedelic sixties, whilst retaining
a freshness and vitality that makes it relevant to todayâ : Terrascope Online

â⦠sweet-natured, disarming and very, very English with its songs about hedgehogs, ladybirds, buses, trams, Guy Fawkes, truth fairies, raspberry lollies, cups of tea and soldiers selling daisies. Take careful note and investigate with confidence, Robyn Hitchcock fansâ : Shindig Magazine
