^ Great post there Gav (I'd expect no less
), and I agree with all of it except where you say all of UNKLE's album releases prior to and including this one are uneven as far the overall quality goes - Psyence Fiction, in my eyes at least, is fully deserving of its classic status. War Stories comes close to being a wall-to-wall, end-to-end great album for me as well, but just falls that little bit short (plus it doesn't have Lonely Souls on it
). I find it strange (maybe that's a bit too strong a word - a little odd) that people, not only this thread, have said that this album lacks any truly memorable tunes when there are some that just kinda leaped out at me and stuck with me. I haven't played this album for a while, but I've got through a few end-to-end listens and I do think it's an album that improves withj repeated plays, or at least for me.
This here's probably my favourite moment on it;
Basically, I stand by my 'pretty good' rating of it!
