Release Notes:
--------
The last album by Stephen Duffy's underrated pop combo is, in many ways, its
strongest. The group's gorgeous acoustic-based sound had been perfected by this
point, and Duffy offers up his strongest batch of songs to date. From the
sensual opener, "In Iverna Gardens," to the exquisite closing ballad,
"Madresfield," this is a consistently great album. "Grey Skies and Work Things"
is typical of the album's mood -- quiet, sensual, melancholy, and romantic.
"Dreaming" is a slight return to the dance-oriented sound with the more subdued
acoustic numbers. The Lilac Time's only release on Creation Records, Astronauts
sold poorly and the group split shortly thereafter. However, it remains -- along
with the solo follow-up, Music in Colors -- Duffy's strongest work and a great
introduction to his talents.
