Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell

OHO are David Reeve and Jay Grabovski, they have a long career behind them and on this cd they are joined by many guest singers, mainly female.
The material is from various stages of their career. There’s a neat dvd with videos included also.

Opener The Great Attractor has gorgeous lead vocals and a bright folksy melody.

Close But No Cigar is more strident, a more progressive rock track with cool and measured vocals.

These songs are from different periods, but they stick together well, making a cohesive listen.

Dream Lifted Up is sweet and yet complex, and has a luminous lead vocal. It proves the band is great at writing tunes.

Limousine is gorgeously evocative and a little poppy, as ever they play with gusto.

The lengthy album has many riches and should be an ideal introduction to the band.
