You used to like the sad songs of doom and gloom...

Having once mistakenly bought every Christian/insomniac's favourite pre-Coldplay album, White Ladder, I feel a slight sense of annoyance with myself that every so often I hear the single from David Gray's new album and absolutely love it. I feel a sense of trepidation that I might accidently buy this one and discover it is equally tedious, or else I might be missing out on something genuinely pretty good. Having said that, White Ladder did have a pretty cool EXTREMELY hidden track - if only I could work out how to rip it. (NOTE: if you do have Life in Slow Motion and it is good, please don't tell me - I'm trying to avoid frivolous spending so would rather remain in ignorance)
