The arrangements have plenty of dynamic contrast, and Paul is a very tasteful player. I like the way he clearly gets to the point of what he's trying to express with economy of notes, but with great attention to detail. For example in "Field of Horses", the theme has very nice string lines that enhance the melody and sections, but sound natural and don't get in the way of the main guitar. There's electric bass on some of the songs, and Paul switches between acoustic and electric. There's even alto saxophone on "Shine", and as with all the songs on the CD, nothing is too loud or too fast. The sax and guitar sounds blend well, and the drums keep a steady light rock feel.
