Anyway, I finally got this just the other day, and wow! "The Coffee Song" is an outstanding piece of work, definitely The Church at their psychedelic best! The guitars remind me of an extended version of that all-too-short guitar solo at the end of "Get Over It" on the Refo:mation album. And Steve's delivery is also quite dreamy. It was worth the import price for that song, alone, but to be treated to an extended instrumental version at the end is even better - it's an outstanding track with and without words! Nice, smooth, ethereal song. (I also love the fact that The Church made a song about my favorite beverage!) As for "The Hounds of Love", I'm not familiar with the Kate Bush version, but they definitely give it a nice treatment. I really think this is an essential recording for Church fans. I can't get enough of it! "Where oblivion is beckoning, where Leviathan is reckoning."

I think The Coffee Song wasn´t good enough for U#23 and it´s just a sketch of a song. The cover of Hounds of Love just didn´t do anything to me in the way Wide Open Road did. Both songs that I love in original form. 3,5 / 5. Solid but not brilliant.

The Pangaea ep on the otherhand is brilliant and very well done.

It arrived shortly before my vacation week last month, so I enjoyed my coffee outside on the porch to "The Coffee Song" and it just fit the mood perfectly. I never heard the Kate Bush version of "Hounds of Love" either, but I like The Church's version. And "The Coffee Song Instrumental" is actually longer than the version with lyrics, and is a nice, psychedelic, pleasant piece, good for chilling out to. It was good to hear a new instrumental from the band; it's been a while. My only regret is having paid so much for it - had I known they would have had it at the concert for only $5, I would have waited. (It was $12 thru Churchmerch, plus shipping! Oh well, as long as they get most of the money, it's worth it!) "Where oblivion is beckoning, where Leviathan is reckoning."
