Description

Simon Greenaway and Sacha Collinson have come a long way since their acid jazz tinged outings as Think Twice, with their Aurora project having touched the widest audience care of a carefully chosen cover of Duran Duran's 1993 hit "Ordinary World" and their own thumping balaeric tearer "Hear You Calling". Perhaps surprisingly, the pair play down these dance credentials in this, their debut full-length, choosing to lean more towards pop--a pre-album live session for Radio 2 reinforcing the success of this inclusive approach. As such, singles "The Day It Rained Forever" and "Hear You Calling" takemore… on down-tempo incarnations--both of which blend incongruously with the rest of the album. New addition Lizzy Pattinson proves a competent vocalist, belting the ballads with plenty of gusto, but finds herself upstaged by the guest contributions of Marcella Detroit who provides the most memorable track on the album. Ironically, considering the bands early work, this takes the form of a cover--Detroit's voice soaring above a reproduction of Gordon Lightfoot's morose "If You Could Read My Mind". --Kingsley Marshall
