Album Information:
There is a good deal of variety in the compositions found on this album. “How You Dae”
and “Fives” are seriously funky. By way of contrast the atmospheric
“Don’t Push” features the shimmering vibes of Henry Broadbent .“Living
The Dream” features Hughes gentle flute in duet with Sam Edwards’ piano.
There are two vocal tracks. “Stepped Across The World” opens with a
sample of our beloved PM speculating on the existence of weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq. It may sound like a love song but the lines “You
lied to me” and “I should have known better” allied to the opening
sample suggest otherwise-a not so veiled attack on our leader delivered
by Gwyn Jay Allen’s smooth vocals.
Daniel Walker provides the equally silky vocals on “Butterfly” a more
straightforward paean to love and freedom. Both vocal interludes are
brief and neither singer outstays their welcome. Line Up:
