This album has nostalgic feel, reminiscent of Marc and the Mambas and at times it revisits an area first seen in that Soft Cell classic Where the Heart is. There has been talk of this being Marc Almonds last self penned studio album, if this is the case then Marc has bowed out in style, but lets hope he still has another couple of albums in him yet.
