(the final track of the actual album) is a nice guitar/vocal ballad, and a beautiful, quiet "Hate" is, ironically, a ballad, and a pretty nice one. Use of mellotron at the beginning, moves into a FL/PF-ish jam, and ends with a Suspiciously like "Tomorrow Never Knows" at double-time.) "Fool" makes nice, spooky
"Finding It So Hard" is the second FL-ish composition, which moves intoĪn overly repetitive Floydian figure, and then back again. Quasi-experimental composition that brings to mind both PF and Eno (a la "Before andĪfter Science"). "NowĪnd Then" is a nice, simple ballad for piano and female vocal. "Goodbye" isĪ shameless Flaming Lips lift (it could easily have been on "The Soft Bulletin"). PF-type song (with a hint of Moody Blues) which makes nice use of organ. Quasi-experimental composition, reminiscent of PF's "Meddle" period. Of "sampling." Yet even though the jam gets repetitive (in a way that Floyd is able toĪvoid), it is good, and the piece overall is both successful and enjoyable.

Review immediately after my review of Porcupine Tree's "Signify," given that other It is ironic that this just happened - by complete accident - to be the album I chose to Posted Monday, | Review this album | Report (Review #27314) The version I have differs in terms of presentation from that shown above in that it has seven tracks, but some of the track lengths are longer with for example "Goodbye" and "Now and then" simply becoming "Goodbye". "Goodbye" is a more commercial ballad with bite, maybe hints of Bowie. The rest of the tracks do not achieve the high standards of "Again", but are nonetheless, of a consistently high quality. The song is similar in some ways to Porcupine Tree's "The sky moved sideways", with its hypnotic rhythm and building themes. Those who enjoy the earlier work of Porcupine Tree will find much to satisfy them here. Once you get past that though, the album is worth picking up for the first track "Again" alone. The cover is enough to put you off, with it's 70's style US school yearbook photos. I'd never heard of Archive until I picked up this album dirt cheap.
