Opener 'Yahoo!' is a spaghetti-western inspired swipe at big corporations and their threat to the planet, a theme that's echoed later in the haunting 'Doomed Ship Allegory'. Contrasts range from the heartbreaking 'Glory', to the Beach-Boys vibe of 'Down Amongst The Living', with 'Ghost' providing the album's potential hit pop single.
Things can get weird though. 'Kafkaesque World' goes under the skin of a torturer. There's coercion and abuse in 'Groomed', and a local news headline (Lifetime ban for clown pervert) provides subject matter for 'The Clown'. The FIFA World Cup Final is revisited for a rousing 'Zizou's Big Day', before stopping off for an uncomfortable 'School Reunion'. 'The Crow' conjures the scene of a fairytale battle, whilst 'Moonwalkers' pays homage to the Apollo lunar astronauts. The album concludes with the 8 minute epic tale of 'Deano', American singer and defector to the Soviets.
So, Ladies and Gentlemen, without further ado, sit back and enjoy the show, as we bring you
