Additional information
The Lilac Time return with their first album of all new material in eight years, and their first since primary songwriter Stephen Duffy and bandmate Claire Worrall were married, with the life-affirming and aptly titled No Sad Songs. Replete with tunes about love, weddings, and romantic inspiration ("All I want is what you bring me/Christmas Eve as a child"), it's clear Duffy is in a more optimistic frame of mind here than on 2003's melancholic and crisis-themed Keep Going. Combined with a positive, even grateful outlook, the album's instrumentation consisting of mostly acoustic instruments, including all manner of stringed ones, makes for an at once dignified and down-to-earth indie pop spin. "The First Song of Spring" kicks things off with a simple tempo count followed by elegant, slow-building drama -- there are strings, timpani, guitar, pedal steel (by former bandmate Melvin Duffy), banjo, drum kit, and more -- but it's very controlled if orchestral, and still remarkably intimate in sound and message: "Have I told you that I love you...today?" The folkier, guitar-based, and equally sweet "She Writes a Symphony" talks of starting a family and commands without sarcasm, "Don't let your wings get in the way." Love is in the air, and most of the album follows in kind. "A Cat on the Long Wave" has minor chords and lyrics of ghosts and mystery, so not every song is swept up in proclamations of devotion, however, it's more like a dream or meditation than anything to contradict the album's title. Duffy isn't pushing boundaries on this record but is still writing really proficient songs. The most interesting track in an unconventional way is Nick Duffy's quasi-instrumental "Rag Tag & Bobtail" with rhythmic banjo, drums, sighing pedal steel, and complex time signatures. There's no need for longtime fans to pine for the Lilac Time's earlier material here; No Sad Songs is a quintessentially solid and affective offering from the band, and with the continued rise of indie folk stylings well into the 21st century, the Nick Drake-inspired approach they've been loyal to since the '80s might not be embraced by the masses but should at least find itself in fashion. ~ Marcy Donelson

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
