Rating: ecstatic
This record left Jonathan McMillan feeling ecstatic.

Jim Noir (real name Alan Roberts) is an English singer-songwriter from Davyhulme, Manchester. This is his sophomore release and I have to say he just keeps getting better. Roberts goes deeper into his electronic side which normally I don't like too much of, but everything that goes on through-out the album just continues to uplift me. The harmonies are reminiscent of The Beach Boys but they have such a great tone that I never really caught myself thinking that until now. Honestly, this reminds me the most of the writing style of Caribou, because not only are the harmonies, electronic, and guitar wonderful, but the percussion on this album stays on par with all the other instruments. I'd have to say there is no lull in this album, everything continues to flow until it is finally over.

OVERVIEW: The second album from Manchurian electronic/psychedelic troubadour Jim Noir is a blast from the future past. A much more expansive record than the universally acclaimed debut collection ‘Tower Of Love’, the album finds Jim on a concept tip. These songs are the musings of an astronaut on a one way trip to the stars, reflecting on childhood, love, disappointment - life. “There was a bit more money floating round so we used Abbey Road this time,” he says. “There was a mastering effect we put on it with the preset title 'Noir Bedroom Effect'. This is how George Martin and I got the sound together.” With key early support coming from the previously non committal Q magazine, and all of the previous fans eager to get on board, press seem to be unanimously favourable again. With good early signs from key Radio 1 shows too, this could be the record to bring Jim to the nation’s attention.
