Originally
available
as
a
vinyl
only
release
limited
to
1,000
copies
released
as
part
of
a
college
music
business
course,
and
became
a
rare
collectors
album.
It
was
reissued
in
1999
to
combat
a
flood
of
expensive
bootlegs,
Tigermilk
shows
the
band's
later
acclaim
was
not
unfounded.
Nine
of
the
ten
tracks
feature
main-songwriter
Stuart
Murdoch's
winsome
vocals,
a
mix
of
acoustic
and
electric
instrumentation
and
a
grab-bag
of
pianos,
horns,
flutes,
and
hand
claps.
The
odd
one
out
of
the
bunch
is
'Electronic
Renaissance',
an
electronic
keyboard
knockabout
that
recalls
Depeche
Mode's
more
insistent
moments
from
the
Vince
Clarke
era.
Standouts
among
the
other
tracks
are
'Expectations,'
the
tale
of
a
square
peg
at
school
who
is
"known
for
being
strange
/
making
life-size
models
of
the
Velvet
Underground
in
clay,"
the
lyrically
wistful
but
musically
charged
'She's
Losing
It,'
and
'I
Don't
Love
Anyone,'
which
references
Felt,
a
band
Belle
and
Sebastian
cites
among
its
many
influences.
