Produced by Don Paul, Tanega worked in the studio with multi-instrumentalist, Mike Moran, and the results were an amazing confection.

‘Nothing Much Is Happening Today’ might have been an unlikely single but today sounds like an earworm especially when halfway through it sounds like Pink Floyd are backing Tanega. ‘What More In The World Could Anyone Be Looking For’ appears in two versions – one lushly arranged and the other presented as simple folk song. Both are winners. ‘A Goodbye Song’ is a small treasure box about losing love. The album is glued together by a number of short instrumentals from harpsichord pieces to strummed magnificence.
