"For whatever reason I always liked this more than Fugazi. It's heavy and unrelenting but not at all boring." Reply
"With the 2nd album TGUK got more professional and a bit more into pop. This album still is one of the best in the (Emo) genre with many many hits on it. Just listen to the opener "Holiday". A gift from heaven!" Reply
"The original Tubular Bells is a classic and was even ahead of it's time. But the synths on this are so dated. It somehow sounds even more dated than the original that came out 19 years before it. I do recognize the skill in composing and arranging this album, and I do enjoy the tracks Weightless,..." [+] Reply
"What's not to like with this album? It's a great example of earthy, emotive songs with Heather's most impassioned vocal delivery. 'Heal', 'Island', 'Maybe An Angel' all burst with personality.

"The darker and much shorter companion piece to the excellent, Copper blue. It's certainly not as instant as it's predecessor and is a lot more hard work to get into. It's still a very good record slightly tarnished by the fact that the vocals are so low down in the mix making them impossible to u..." [+] Reply
"I prefer the single-CD edition of this album, that came out in 1995! It omits the tracks "Beautiful Sister", "Giftland" and "Sungravy" and contains edited versions of "Leave It Like That", "The Wheel" and "On My Pillow"." Reply
"Shortlisted for R&B albums of the year at the 1997 Grammys. The winner was Words by Tony Rich" Reply
"A great, rockin' romp through some blues classics. Not only Clapton;s best studio album in 20 years, but also a great starting point for fans to familiarize themselves with blues." Reply

"Note about the track listing: This was released with two different sets of tracks. The one listed above is the Australian version; I am familiar with the International version, and that's what's available on Spotify. The International Version includes a song called "Promises" and leaves out "Mine..." [+] Reply
