Best described as sophisticated folk rock with touches of psychedelia, the ten songs which make up the album are all originals. The album's opening song, "Anniversary of My Mind", features some excellent guitar work, surreal lyrics & a compelling eastern drone sound likely provided by a tamboura. "For the World" closes with a heartbeat which leads into the next song, "Waking Up", which again features some great bass and guitar work with excellent lead vocals. Other highlights include "Moving Day", "After the Before", and the beautiful "Flock of Birds".
Largely, it's the excellent instrumentation and arrangement of the music which make it so appealing. This combined with fine original material makes for a very enjoyable listening experience. The entire album has a very special mood and atmosphere, best described as the expression of lament and disillusion. The album captures the mood of a person trying in vain to smile while inside they are feeling deep pain. This mood was possibly best expressed by one of the lyrics from "Moving Day": "When mother died, I sat and cried…for days that had passed us by, days when I'd told her lies". Possibly intended as a concept album of sorts, a common theme throughout the album is that of childhood and the disillusion of growing up. Nearly every song touches upon this theme.
The album is excellent overall and has yet to be reissued either on CD or vinyl. It is now beginning to be recognised by collectors as a classic work of psychedelia which no collection should be without.
