    Just after my listen and I must say I like it. It doesn't seem as organic or something as some of his other stuff, and maybe this due to the Carios and the strange sounding arrangements (for Will anyway) of the record. And definitely not as accessible as the marvelous Lie Down in the Light. I wasn't a huge fan of his last release Beware, but I'll come back to it again soon and that could all change. His recent live release Is It The Sea? is a masterpiece - recorded in Glasgow a few years when he played with Harem Scarem and Alex Neilson.

    Anyway, back to second listen to 'The Wonder Show' (I'll be raving about it soon) and my beer. :)

    This is my favourite track from it atm. Youtube sound quality doesn't do it justice really though.
