This has a few really good songs, with thoughtful lyrics. The production is far from being clean and sterile - there are some problems with tuning in a few places and others where the rhythm doesn't seem to match up, but the material itself, i.e. the songs, are strong.
I see that the album was written/recorded in a day, which makes the flaws a bit more acceptable, I think.
'Choices' is very like some of the acoustic pieces from Jethro Tull's Aqualung, and 'Exquisite Replica' is sort of rock meets seaside music hall, and the two longer tracks are pretty much freefrom instrumental jams.
A strange selection of music, but quirky fun music with a heart. As a whole it reminds me a bit of Syd Barrett albums - ramshackle and a bit all over the place, but with some wonderful ideas.
