Ultimately, the album is explicitly notable for its musicality, rather than its content.
-
This is a definite step up from the all-pall-and-no-pulse feel that made Espers' 2004 self-titled album too stuffy.

Strip away the fug of patchouli oil and incense and you're left with little more than a shoegazing album played by Kula Shaker.

The band seem to be far too familiar with the sonic designs of The Incredible String Band and Comus. Espers II sounds more like a lovelorn impersonation of the music than a radical exploration of its possibilities.
