It's something of a minor miracle that this album is this good. Half of it is cleaned up and slightly re-written re-recordings of earlier material that. An album sequenced in this manner could so easily have stunk of contractual filler, but this never does.
Shockingly, for Scrawl's standards, this is very accessible. "Charles" must be their most light-hearted moment, and could easily have rode into the indie charts alongside The Breeder's similarly oddball and fun "Cannonball" (though it's not *quite* of the same quality). "100 Car Pile-Up" shows that they got more accessible with their havier stuff, too - this is the punchiest, most air-guitar friendly thing I've heard from them. It's also brilliant. Their cover of "Public Image" ranks as a highlight too; some even argue this as their finest moment, though I certainly wouldn't.
Nature Film, if you can find it, is well worth hearing. Scrawl are a remarkable band, and while this may not be their most remarkable album, it's still definitely a keeper.
