Blink and you'll miss it – this isn't a particularly long album. Unfortunately for him Jeremy Jay's third long playing effort, Splash, is pleasant enough but not particularly memorable either. Dozing off to it is not an impossibility. 

Moving sideways from Preston School of Industry and in advance of the much hyped reformation of the mighty Pavement, Scott Kannberg has created his first solo album under his stage monicker of Spiral Stairs. What else he's been working on for the last five years I've no idea, but the time spent on this mixed bag of 11 songs has generally been well used although I found my attention wandering at around the halfway point.
