everywhere with his rich baritone and five-star songwriting. On this 1993 recording, Brown and a variety of kids from Iowa--all aspiring songwriters, it seems--deliver 16 songs that mix public domain treasures such as "I See the Moon," Elizabeth Cotton's "Shake Sugaree," and Mississippi John Hurt's "Payday" with charming originals such as "Late Night Radio," "Flabbergabble," "So Long, You Old Tooth," the title track, and the funny "Four Wet Pigs." With lyrics like "The tuna is tired, the seahorse is sleepy" ("Down at the Sea Hotel"), or about the touching trials of "Young Robin," Brown and his kid company create a collection of songs that are as fanciful as they are wistful, witty, and wise. This is also a great introduction for parents who have been encouraged to seek out such Brown classics as 44 & 66, Further In, The Iowa Waltz, or his brilliant recording of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience, also ripe for children ages 4 to 94. --Martin Keller

...It's both upsetting and great that this is Orbital's last album. Upsetting, because after the poor previous album "The Altogether", this sees the group back on high form again, and I want to hear more, but great that they're going out on such a high note. It's not quite on the level of their classics "Brown" or "In Sides", but I reckon this could well become my third favourite Orbital album.
Opening on the beautiful string-laden ambient 'Transient', my hopes were raised from the first moment, and the rest of the album runs a bit like an Orbital's greatest hits, with their classic dancier and subtle upbeat styles taking over on the wonderful but awfully titled 'Pants', the silly (but unlike most of "The Altogether", not cheap and novelty) 'Bath Time' and 'Easy Serv' and the epic closer 'One Perfect Sunrise'. Most outstanding of all...

Advantages: good mix Disadvantages: none
...I fell in love with the single 'dancing in the moonlight' but i thought it would just be a one-off.....I WAS WRONG. This album really does have something for everyone - from the stomping 'Let the people know' to the sensitive 'summer cycle' and the comic 'floating away in the bathtub'.
There is no duff song on the album & it's perfect for chilling out on a long hot afternoon.
Toploader are likely to be around ofr a long while yet - I would recommend this album to anyone who is looking for something both light hearted and with serious bits....
