The album starts with a melancholic All Sweet Things. Sad, laid back with a quiet piano and acoustic guitar. The vocals are good (as always). The simplistic melody creates a captivating and haunting feeling / texture. This is a good No-Man track and one that I like.

Pigeon Drummer is a little different with an almost angelic keys start, a short moment of silence to be followed by a sudden aggressive drums/keys section. This happens just twice but this is a track that will wake people up! It works for me but makes me jump on every album listen (and there have been a few full album listens of this!). Truenorth is the album epic (at 12 minutes plus) and takes me back to familiar No-Man music. Not overly complex with a gentle start with some nice percussion and keys. Nice atmospheric music with a gradual build-up; very melodic and relaxed. Wherever There Is Light is my favourite track on the album. I love the slide guitar. Gorgeous with a gentle rhythmic background and a nice flute.

Possibly not the most textual or varied No-Man album but it is a pleasant listen. I don't think No-Man fans will be disappointed and it is maybe one of the best No-Man albums to start with? The title of the album gives an indication of the general subject matter but it is not sensationalist, more a gentle reflection.
