A Manchester-based singer/songwriter who's got together a quite reasonable album. In fact some of the productions by keyboard man Andy Green are exemplary examples of how to arrange and produce a budget line album with maximum effort. Also, Pete's voice, particularly on the worshipful songs, is plaintively pleasing. The problem is the songs themselves. Sometimes they are overly ambitious - too many images (and clichés) make the unflinching look at big city life of the title track unconvincing, while Pete's failing to grasp the discipline of correct scanning of lyrics make for some uncomfortable moments. But when it all comes together, like the haunting "In The Stillness", it all works very well. So.keep going Pete.
