I posted a couple of weeks ago saying how much I am enjoying the album.
For me there is such an uplifting feel to the album that it could never
be as contrived or studied as Stewart suggests. I'm basically a cynic
at heart, and would have picked up on it I'm sure! Listen to "M79" - it
never fails to raise a smile - I think the string arrangement is superb.
