'The Fabulous Neutrinos' is a cracking album. T-Bass UK have come a long way since 'The Infection of Time'. That was also an enjoyable album but what we have here is a very well balanced and produced CD. One could even say "slick". The title track kicks the album of and its as powerful a number as you could want - drums, guitar and loads of synths combine together to form something of a rock anthem. 'Ice' is a short atmospheric bridge taking us to 'Know Fear'. Here the mood is much more reflective and even tender reminding me a little of some of Andy Pickford's more tranquil tracks. Its initially all very lush and atmospheric. A rhythm starts up and the track develops a little umph though it is all kept under control retaining the beauty of the first half throughout.

'The Lighthouse' is another number which really socks it to you and lets rip. You could find yourself playing the air drums, air keyboard or even air guitar - probably all at the same time! 'Gazing at the Edge of Forever' begins in tranquil mode then a slow loping rhythm enters. This rhythm develops as we progress giving the track real power. The melodies and guitar riffs also combine to form yet another stonker. 'Call from the Wild Side' is the closest this album gets to pop - it could even be used as a TV theme tune - all very melodic and boppy. '6EQUJS (Wow!)' begins with the sound of a radio being tuned in we then get something which sounds as if it could have come from one of TD's mid 90s albums. It's all rather pleasant, nice melodies, relaxing drums and some fine guitar playing.

'Asylum' is a wonderful and all too short slow atmospheric brooder - a great contrast to the two previous numbers (its this mixing of moods that is one of the reasons this CD is so impressive). '10000 Maniacs' reminds me a little of 'Melrose' period TD and if it had been on that album it would have been one of my favourites. 'Memory Lingers Here' is yet another highly enjoyable slab of easy to get on with melodic synth / guitar music. Great for relaxing to on a hot summers day. 'A Question of Time' finishes the album like we started, that is in in rock star mode - a great one for some on stage pyrotechnics.
