  29. Release Notes:
  30. --------
  31. I was well acquainted with most of The Parlotones new songs after following them
  32. to almost every venue they played in Joburg - so you can understand why I was so
  33. excited to get my hands on a copy of this album. 慉 World Next Door To Yours?is
  34. yet another example of South African music being underrated in the international
  35. scene. Due to the reaction of their previous album 慠adioControlledRobot? The
  36. Parlotones have been making waves north of the equator, and are generating a new
  37. interest in the ignored talent in this country.
  38.  
  39. Produced by Cape Town based Theo Crous, the production is of international
  40. standard. It is easy to tell that there has been a lot of work put into this
  41. album, and not only time and skill, but for a Joburg (or according to MySpace,
  42. UK) based band, it抯 not easy to just pop down to the studio when it is based in
  43. Cape Town. These guys know that playing hard goes hand in hand with working hard
  44. and it has definitely paid off.
  45.  
  46. The album is captivating and easy to listen to which is vital for testing
  47. further markets. It still has the unmistakable 慞arlotones?sound and style
  48. which put them on the music map in the first place. It抯 a great example of a
  49. band being true to themselves while collecting as many people as they can to
  50. join in on the ride.
  51.  
  52. The word 憇oundtrack?keeps popping up when people discuss this album, it even
  53. shows up in one of the songs, but it really is a great way to explain the album
  54. as a whole. The lyrics seem to tell more of a story than before. They are
  55. beautifully poetic and Kahn knows how to take a simple idea or feeling and bring
  56. it to life. The songs on this album are slower and more soulful than before but
  57. there are still the more quirky upbeat songs that keep the album alive.
  58.  
  59. If all you have heard off this album is 慓iant Mistake?on Highveld while stuck
  60. in the traffic in the mornings, you are in for a surprise when you buy (not
  61. copy) this album. There are so many potential singles throughout that will keep
  62. you more and more interested in what The Parlotones have t
