Sleeve: Dramatic - gold backdrop on front and moody close-up of Seal on back.
Sleevenotes: Brief - title listings, some portraits and a page of thank yous.
Content: CD1 has all the hits (Crazy, Kiss From A Rose, Killer etc) and two surprises in covers, Walk On By and the Bunnymen's Lips Like Sugar. on CD2, Seal goes acoustic, but with producer Trevor Horn at the helm nothing gets pared down enough.
High point: The dreamy Future Love Paradise.
Low point: The uninspiring Walk On By.
Glaring omissions? No
Anything new: So-called acoustic second CD.
Justified or feeble excuse for release? Justified - just - but I'd still love to hear Seal truly acoustic.
Where might this end up at Christmas? On my CD player in the kitchen as I baste the turkey.
