What you say 1 person has reviewed this record. It made them ecstatic! Write a review! Last 1 review(s): This record left mike feeling ecstatic. This LP is so good that I bought it twice! I got the original version but had to snap up this lavish reissue - remastered sound, 11 bonus tracks and fascinating liner notes from Richard Davies and Eric Matthews. Onto the music - a heady brew of The Zombies, The Left Banke and Love, with a dash of Bowie. Eric Matthews' voice is breathy and lush like Elliott Smith or Colin Blunstone, while Richard Davies' voice is grittier and more stringy. Together they come up with some amazing harmonies, and their melodies are gorgeous - timeless sixties hooks with a 90s alternative pop sensibility. This is an ace CD that you will not regret purchasing! Review date: 15 January 2007 Read all 1 reviews. Give us your opinion on S/T (remastered) by Cardinal. What we say This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic. Thank God then that someone has chosen to re-issue Cardinal's self titled debut CD somewhat of a lost classic in the 1990's. Cardinal was Richard Davies and Eric Matthews who both went on to release a few decent solo albums but this is probably their masterpiece. Its a beautiful album with a late 60's tinge and chamber music overtones. At its best it recalls Love's 'Forever Changes' or anything by the Zombies. Its not all plain sailing  - there are one or two tracks that don't quite work but still its a million billion squillion times better than anything I have heard this year. The re-issue comes with 11 bonus tracks and we have the Deluxe hand numbered (of 500) edition and the normal cheaper edition.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
