Having read peoples comments i felt i should add to the debate. I was
disappointed when i listened to plastic, as i was again the second and third
time. to be honest i haven't revisited it since then. However, when
listening to SP first time around my ears only pick up those tunes that i
want to be good which at the time are very few. the same happened when
listening to selection sixteen and especially with budakhan mindphone.
However now i really like those albums. The point is that i when i listen
to a SP album and he delivers what i expect then his music is no longer
progressing. He may as well write a track called 'Baby, one more time' and
appear on ?Top of the Pops?.
