Passionate, usually unintelligible lyrics, ear-splittingly heavy instrumentation, moody, cathartic atmospheres... THIS is what alternative music should be: an ALTERNATIVE to clean vocals, overabundance of DAWs, fake happy auras, etc.; things that have become WAY too prevalent in the modern "alternative" scenes.

Anyways, this album is awesome. I'm glad music like this is still being made. A cassette version (with a bonus track on Side 2, to make the sides more even) would be great to own.

'Almost a Stranger' is an awesome, dreamy track, and it reminds me very much of 'Old and Wise' by The Alan Parsons Project, which is another song I really love. However, 'Me, Oh Well' is a breath of fresh air for Red Vox, it being a departure from the dreamy stuff they had been doing a lot of for a while and going for a slightly harder, grungier sound I wish they'd do more of.

A beautiful cosmic horror that progressively morphs Claude Debussy's Syrinx into Colin Matthew's Pluto and Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells. Brilliant.
