    The slow pacing of the tracks, particularly the likes of 'Feet of Clay', 'Mister Skeleton' and 'Secrets of the Earth', are almost meditative. Richly detailed, so you're constantly finding new sounds and curiosities, but not so busy as to draw too much attention away from the trip.

    Whilst the exposure of O’Sullivan and Tucker’s pop heart has been more than welcome, one senses that there are many more sides to this complex, stubbornly esoteric collaboration that are yet to be revealed, and that’s an exciting thought indeed.

    Fur is forging a bold new path through the thick forest of psychedelia.

    Preternaturals is graceful and intriguing, if not vastly pulse quickening.

    Manchester electronic alternative with folk melodies, reminding 80's dream pop, Depeche Mode, Stone Roses or Cave. Not somethingManchester electronic alternative with folk melodies, reminding 80's dream pop, Depeche Mode, Stone Roses or Cave. Not something revolutionary, but quite original and well done. Expand
