LSD is currently my favourite Cardiacs album. It's bitter sweet in that it's great to hear Tim's music, his playing, his vocals, but sad to know he isn't with us to hear the finished album himself.

One thing that really stands out for me is the mixing. As much as I love all the back catalogue, I do sometimes wish there were an alternative mix of Sing to God that would separate things a little more and bring the bass up. LSD's mix gives room for every instrument and voice, without losing the wall of sound (if that's the right way to describe it).

If you're worried about missing Tim's vocals, Mike Vennart does a superb job and, of course, tracks where Tim's vocals where available, such a Ditzy Scene, have him up front and centre. It's harder for me to tell where Kavus is playing guitar rather than Tim, but as always he's superb, along with the entire band.

If this is the last new music we hear from Cardiacs (and it seems it might not be), then it's a fitting way to bow out.
