This album contains a number of really good, original songs. One of my favourite is 'A Poem on the underground wall' Although it is only about someone grafitting a wall, it contains some beautiful lyrics. Quite a lot of the tracks on this album have lovely lyrics which are full of imagery. This includes 'the dangling conversation' 'Flowers never bend with the rainfall' and 'patterns' I think that all three of these are good, original songs with interesting melodies and I enjoy them.

Another of my favourite songs is 'Cloudy' It sounds really dreamy (both the lyrics and the tune) and is quite a relaxing song to listen to.

This album also contains a couple of fun songs like 'The 59th street bridge song' 'The Big bright green pleasure machine' and 'A simple desultry philippic'. The latter song is a bit strange, and towards the end of the song it sounds a bit as if the're stoned when the're singing it.
