A restless, punky band; their mileage and gigs to the month ratio are high. ‘The Doppler Effect ‘ is chopped up indie rock with excitement in 4/4 and 3/4 sections. ‘Melodica’ makes a showing and a signature riff sticks in the memory. ‘Born To Exile’ is more single minded, while ‘Rio De Janeiro’ races.

I can hear the energy and the enthusiasm, but on this recording what I’m not hearing the full live assault, and the frequent changes of tack are close to losing the thread. There are reminders of This Et Al and of Wintermute, but with a rough-cut quality.
