Good album. I needed to hear it in it's entirety once but I'll just enjoy it's catchy singles from now on.

"In the distance there is truth"
An interesting album, less neo-folk but with and interesting use of rock, post-punk and psychedelic passages, and an amazing production.
Genesis P. Oridge is/are the Janis Joplin for the ones who have Tito Brass as their Ken Russel.
