The sound of a band at ease with their place in the world, still experimenting, still pushing forward, some real soulful music,some angry raucous guitars, (check out Perfect World),  snippets of where they (he) was in their life at the time, and very ably assisted in the writing of a couple of the songs by Ray Davies of the Kinks.

As an unforseen "swansong", it is beautiful, and i defy you to listen (or read) the lyrics to Fragile thing or Your Spirit to me or Grace and not have tears in your eyes, especially after the terrible event that followed the album's release.

A Band still chasing their initial goal, to join their music with people, to document the trials and victories of you, me and them. A job very well done i think.

The last 'proper' album, and by this time most traces of the Scottish sound of the early albums is long gone. But there are some great songs on here. Driving To Damascus, Dive In To Me and Fragile Thing are as good as anything they recorded.
