Not an album, but EP's are listed on the mp3 player as albums, so why not. Released in the very early days of Belle & Sebastian, this shows promise. It's lyrics are strong, and the music is ambitious, but perhaps a little too much. The first two tracks seem muddled, as if too many instruments are playing at once with little idea of how to complement each other. The final two are clearer, and better for it, though Stuart Murdoch's voice is still rather fragile, and the comparative lack of arrangement leaves it more exposed than it should be. They would get better.
