"Put out after 'Defenders of the Faith' which was always going to be a hard act to follow. I remember when this came out it got hammered in reviews due to them using synth guitars.

"Probably the best producer curated album I've ever heard. Apart from "You Know", the record is absolutely breath-taking and showcases Flume's genius standard production across track. The sound design on this album is brilliant. My favourite track is probably Free."  Reply

"A beautifull concept album on the story of a forgotten US soldier of WWII on a lost islnad in the PAcific. A good mix of strumental and singed songs in pure Camel's style."  Reply
