Skidmark.Org Review, July 2005
What a wonderfully alternative album!
I love it when preconceptions of an artist are utterly destroyed upon listening to their CD - from the description of Glyn's vocal style of being reminiscent of Bowie I prepared myself for some mediocre semi-droning but how wrong I was!
Yes, there is a similarity to Bowie in as much Glyn has a distinct & powerfully individual sound but musically that's where the comparison ends. I've never been a big fan of Bowie but I definitely could be of Glyn Bailey - the album is a fantastically diverse collection of alternative tunes ranging from acoustica to psychedelia - with each song married to beautifully crafted lyrics filled with the echoes of real life - sometimes humorous, sometimes melancholy, at times even political - this superb collection of life experiences put to music can not fail to touch everyone at some point during the hour+ of listening time. Spot-on sound production and Slick packaging make this a debut album plenty of mainstream artists could learn a few lessons from!
