Apt name for project and title, since it really is a rather odd pop diversion for a man who devoted twenty years to relentless punk rock. Ralph Spight steps away from the Victim's Family trappings and explores diverse musical waters like he's been graced by a lifetime supply of colourful floaties. That is, with childlike relish. There's a bit of Tom Waits adulation going on, with the little goatee, the megaphone and the carnival style pacing, but Spight's delivery is quite audible and at times, cheery enough to produce a good time vibe.
