Indeed it has, and am I the only one who finds its undeniable charms somewhat diluted by a tendency towards the Bland-out? I should explain that I came to this CD having been bewitched and delightfully bothered by Torchsong's "Toward the Unknown Region" - on which Our Bill of the Circuitous Planetary Route strutted his ambi-dub-dance stuff in fairly high profile fashion, amidst serial-ethereal wispy female vocals and what sounds like echoplexed conventional guitars and piano. Hinterland is overall a pretty and occasionally . . . ahem . . . serious-buttage-kicking collection, but it is no Torchsong . . . What do people have to say about the previous offerings in the Strange Cargo project? Tell me everything. alan/beyondthebristolsound
