Having seen this was a solo guitarist album, and a jazz one at that, I did: I groaned. I thought "Here we go again!" But in fact I was wrong. I expected a sort of introspective, gentle, lullaby-type album of soft classical or acoustic guitar music, which is fine in its place, but after OH's borefest last week I wasn't ready for that again.

This was light-years ahead. Some slow material, yes, but overall very upbeat, interesting, clever and engaging. It's hard to pick out favourite tracks, as I kind of listened to it as one suite, but I can definitely say I enjoyed the whole thing. Having listened to it once, I hit repeat: always a good sign.

Top marks again, Psy-Fi! Voted Love.
