Certainly sounds groovy when it starts, nice and smooth and soul-ish and more like something out of Detroit than Montreal, then slides into more of a - I don't know – New Wave? - sort of thing. Very pleasant though. And back to funk. Enjoying this a lot. Got a nice kind of downtempo/trip-hop feel to some of the tracks too, especially “Wrapping Up”, but the title track I found quite boring and wearing to be honest. All right, I'm getting bored now. But then “This Way” is a really nice dreamy piece that helps the album recover well.
