Lead single “Above and Below” and “Reflexes in the Margin” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. This disc has all of the essential Tomkins classics. On the Finland charts, superstar Tomkins’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is one of Tomkins best albums
Reflexes in the Margin is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Nowadays a Silhouette is such a marvelous and optimistic song that things can get just better. Some call Silver Star from Before a Word Is Said as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. In Fourfold full palet of sound is used by Tomkins to accentuate the presentation. Before a Word Is Said - I like this one. Umbrellas one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Fleeting Glance is another favourite of mine.
