I always have the same feeling of a very appealing record which sounds pretty much as Floyd during some tracks (Night of a Thousand Furry Toys). But the majority of the music features atmospheric music. It reminds me furiously the B-side from Low (Bowie). Hidden Fear is such track. This album is very relaxing; almost new age at times (Runaway). Some short instrumental tracks are being added and don't necessarily improve the quality of the work (Unfair Ground, Interlude or Drowning). Some others are more extended and do have more character like Satellite: it has a Floydian feel but I also tend to hear some Roxy influences (the bass play is close to the one available during the intro of Manifesto). It is a good instrumental track. Rick is also doing well on the vocal side, even if some more passion could have been incorporated, the elegance of Woman of Custom is another pleasant moment of his Broken China.
