In retrospect you're right about it not being "not all great". I was part of a small group of people who have tried (& usually failed) to catch a great Miracle Fortress show - I think I caught them 4 times and each gig was a bit of let down. They played twice in London last month and I couldn't summons up the enthusiasm. They do a great version of Daft Punk's "Digital Love" BTW. This was my favourite album of 2007 which I played to bits.

I was sent it by a friend at their label, so it could well be far from a timely review. I tag things 'new music' when it's the first time it gets featured here. Quite feasibly.

I'm sure it came out a year ago or more, because I included "Have You Seen In Your Dreams" in my Stylus year-end singles vote Is this a reissue?

I did try and avoid the obvious, but you might as well call a spade a spade. That’s pretty much what the Guardian review said.
