Great review

I agree with what's been said and the 9/10 mark over all over OTT reviews. I feel a little sorry for Strawberry Jam however I tend to find Avey/Deakin songs more energeticly exciting and Panda's exciting in a subdued way. There were more Avey Tare songs on Strawberry Jam so i'm a little biased. I do miss Deakin on this record a little...

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned..

Nouvelle Vague.I like their cover of 'The Killing Moon' by Echo & The Bunnymen...it's hard to go wrong with that song though...

Echo & The Bunnymen's cover of The Doors' 'People Are Strange' isn't THAT bad either..
