I kind of got the impression from the album that it was one of those bands
where one guy is more in charge than the others -- it has that sort of
idiosyncratic quality to it. If I recall, the comparisons I made in my
review were 10cc, XTC, Game Theory and John Southworth, although I'd
probably also throw in a Sparks reference and perhaps an oblique
Sugarplastic mention if I were writing it today.
