    Across Six Leap Years reminds us that after more than 20 years, Tindersticks remain as polarizing as ever. And for that, it does its job admirably.

    None of these versions are really necessary, at least for listeners (it sounds as if making the record was both important and cathartic for the band), and while it’s as good a place for newcomers to start as any and superfans will probably enjoy teasing out the small differences, it’s the least essential thing Tindersticks have ever released.

    Across Six Leap Years serves the weirdest of purposes, pleasing (presumably) both band and fans. Many of these reworks are so slightly different as to possibly only truly satisfy the former, but no matter.

    Tindersticks see this anniversary celebration as a reflection of who they are as a band now, rather than merely as a reflection of their past.

    Other versions are so microscopically different from the originals that you wonder why they've bothered. [Dec 2013, p.71]
