It's just a shame their big hits tended to be their less interesting songs.

Prolonging the Magic is great - Cool Blue Reason is worth the price of admission on its own; Hem of your Garment is a banger; Mexico is a melancholic gem.

For my money I'd say Comfort Eagle's a stronger album (more coherent), and Fashion Nugget has "Frank Sinatra" on it - but PTM is great at the heart of that trilogy.
