Advantages: incredibly unique music Disadvantages: perhaps a little too bleak at times
...Blimey - what an album! It's not, however, very likeable. Scott's previous record Climate Of Hunter, for all it's oddities, is still a collection of relatively traditional songs. Tilt isn't.
But the opening "Farmer In The City" is still one of the best tracks ever recorded and still, after 12 years and goodness knows how many plays, brings me to the verge of tears at the "Paulo, take me with you..." bit. Amazing. The strings are stunningly powerful.

We often discuss books at work and a few of the girls had read some of Janet Evanovich's novels from the Stephanie Plum series. I had not heard of them or read any of her other novels. I am currently trying to save money so that means not buying lots of books so I decided to visit my nearest charity shop and have a look at the books there. When I saw "Full Tilt" and saw that it was co-written by Janet Evanovich I thought I would give it a try, and for £1.50 for charity if I didn't like it I thought it wouldn't be money thrown away! This novel is not from her best-selling Stephanie Plum series but is a new series and is co-written with Charlotte Hughes.
