my older brother turned me onto Laughing Stock in the early 90's, it has been one of my favorite albums since.
i have gone through the progession of albums backwards ending up to their first The Party's Over.

cheers

Laughing Stock gets better with each listen. There is so much space and beauty. It is easily one of my all time favorites.
