"Good memories of some of these songs (Witchcraft, Watercolour, Fountain, Self vs Self) from my teens. Listened to the whole album and quite a lot of it is dross to be fair.

"This is a perfect example of how Blakey can spot a good composition, make it swing, and get his soloists to attack it with both cohesiveness and verve. While most Blakey albums are memorable for Blakey himself, and he's in fine form here, it's really the brass in the front like that steals the sh..."  [+]  Reply

"This is the modern world, was the lightning quick follow up to debut album, in the city. In truth, they maybe should have waited a little longer to record this LP as it falls short of the quality on that first record. The band just don't sound as inspired with only, life from a window, one of the..."  [+]  Reply

"The first time I listened to Strange Trails back in 2015, I could have sworn I'd heard every song on it before, and even felt like I could have sung along.
