[edit] Review quotes
- "The First Tindersticks Album draws inspiration from the playful narrative style of producer Lee Hazlewood (Duane Eddy, Nancy Sinatra), the Cinemascope orchestrations of John Barry and the twilight-zone claustrophobia of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds." -ROLLING STONE
- "...Press superlatives, record company support, and the highly individual style of British indie rock sextet Tindersticks have ignited a fire of interest that looks likely to cross the Atlantic". -BILLBOARD
- "... it's the feel of rain-wet cobblestones and French cigarettes that immediately define Tindersticks' debut." -RAYGUN
- "... the band's delicately paced songs are woven around piano or organ beds, or gracefully sculpted guitar lines. Sitting in the middle, like a rich chocolate center, are the sultry vocals of Stuart Staples..." -CMJ
- "...Tindersticks is sprawling, ambitious, faltering, brilliant, romantic, spontaneous, spooky, flawed and delightful. About f**king time." -MELODY MAKER, ALBUM OF THE YEAR
- "...How truly refreshing it is to be utterly spellbound and gently disturbed, to see a band at the beginning of something that promises immeasurable greatness." -MELODY MAKER
[edit] Notes
- The first 1000 copies included four postcards.
- 1000 copies of the "Amsterdam CD" included a bonus disc.
