After being delayed and than delayed again it’s finally being released today. Four songs did get dropped from the original track listing and they were "Land of the Lost", "A Change Is Gonna Come", "Last Day On Earth" and "Wrong Treats."

If you don’t know this band than here are some MP3’s and this should be a must for most music fans of the so called shoegaze scene of the early 90’s. You need to click the above link to actually get to those mp3’s. This collection is a UK release only.

I saw this earlier, but didn't reply because an opportunity for sex presented itself.

i'd give it some time. the standout tracks, for me, are 99th Dream and Behind the Scenes, but the others reveal some details after repeat listens. it's one of those records...just sounds kinda samey at first and then seeps in. but it's def. not the same approach as Mezcal Head or even Ejector Seat Reservation for that matter.

but esp. the first track...one of my favorite SWD songs ever.

Definitely, it took me many listens before 99th Dream clicked, but now it is probably my fave album of theirs.
