On this record Ben Sun presents an old style LP format - 40 minutes of moods and grooves interwoven with an intimate narrative. After a sultry jazz opener, the LP kicks off with a sweet and slow soul track in Work Again, underpinned by a rotating acid bass. Third comes Salty Tears, the underground disco floor-filler (original 12" version) finding a second home on vinyl. Your Camera and Monday usher in some moody rhythms to complete the first side. Sin Casa opens the flip with some minor-blues improvisation that gives way to a spacious deep house jam. Still Missing shows deeper shades of a Eurobeat style - an emotionally compelling club tune that sounds somewhere on the Italo side of 1980s Manchester. The story concludes with Cowardice, and the casual jazz-house sounds of Maman's Lover. Killer album!!! Recommended.
