Under rated band.

What a great record this is!!! I absolutly think it is a work of genius. BUY IT NOW!!!!

Possibly their best record

Its great to hear an album with a vibe running through out , and it makes me wish that the coral had started working with John Leckie along time ago.
Great songs , with great harmonies , and just a magic summer record. the best album of the year with out a doubt!

Coral visit Hotel California

This album could have come out of Los Angeles in the early seventies, it's so sun-drenched. The harmonies, instrumentation (all jangly guitars) and even song titles would have fitted snugly into a Crosby, Stills & Nash, America, Byrds or Eagles album, which is exalted company to keep, but hardly innovative or cutting edge. '1000 years is a gorgeous tune which reminded me of Todd Rundgren. The easy psychedelica of songs such as 'Butterfly house' and 'Green is the colour' even drift back to sixties era Donovan. And then, going even further back, there's the fifties literary referencing of 'Coming through the rye' (to find a Catcher perhaps?). For an oldie like me it is wonderful to hear bands still making music like this, and I hope those less ancient than I will go back to check the bands that have influenced it, but I can't help but feel that Coral should be stretching themselves more, rather than stretching back and chilling with a mojito in one hand and a spliff in the other. Most California-retro album since The Thrills 'So much for the city'.
