                   This is the third album by the legendary New Wave  duo from Liverpool, The Lotus Eaters. A limited edition, released exclusively in  Japan in  Oct. 2010. If   Silentspace, its excellent predecessor is more stripped-down as compared to the classic,  No Sense Of Sin-- Differance is entirely acoustic. Only the smooth vocals  of Peter Coyle and the ringing guitars of Jem Kelly (with  backing vocals on some tracks by Saree Williams) are heard. While the mood is almost entirely somber; nevertheless, I find it  just as enchanting and mesmerizing, especially  tracks such as "Richochet," "Manifesto For Feeling," "Melt Into The Sky," "Can't Live Your Life Stuck Into Wars" and "Wishing That You'd Stay."

            Removed of  additional productions, Jem Kelly's superb plucking and strumming improvisations are  very evident here, whereas, Peter Coyle's voice is just as cool, as smooth and as haunting as ever. Just like  Silentspace, it may be a little difficult to connect  at first but  after repeated spins this will surely  be "tatooed in your mind." -- Definitely a must-have for  fans.     

If you need me now -  live 6-10- 2010 Cavern, Liverpool
from ackwardsquadproject.youtube- thanks a lot!

    1. No. It wasn't sold commercially. Some copies though were made directly available in Ebay.co.uk. That's where I got mine.
