Sleepers

Roy Keyworth plays guitars, Stu Nicholson sings, Spencer Luckman plays drums, Karl Garrett keyboards and Neil Pepper bass, with Paul Beavis on percussion and Kathy Smythe singing operatic vocals on "Sleepers". The release date is disputed: MusicBrainz gives June 1995 in Japan and September in the UK, and the band says a Japanese version appeared in April. The 2015 remaster adds "Suffering in Silence" and an alternative "Pictures of Bliss", with Dean Baker on keyboards and orchestration. Background Magazine's Angelo Hulshout called the remaster crisp and clear and the original a fine album. The Progressive Aspect hears Nicholson singing a World War II drama in several distinct character voices.
