This is the first sign that Evripidis and His Tragedies are a truly unique band and have developed their own style. In Evripidis' songwriting there is space for pre-Beatles pop as heard on "Ru Ru I'd Love To...", to the sinister and grotesque "Transylvania, Some Nights Are Sleepless" and "Cause I Shall Rise Again", the picaresque cabaret "Red Is The Sky Above the Harbour" and romanticism "I Want To Be There'', ''Long-Lasting Lovers'' or ''Straydog" and also singles as "It's June Again!'' and ''Gregory (We're Coming Out In The Light)". Conceptually, Evripidis use polarity (reality and fantasy, romanticism and sexual tension, self-parody and idealisation, catastrophe and comedy) to create a work guided by humour and his flirtation with daily tragicomedies. The result is an album that is personal, daring, original and ambitious.
