The Cover – If I went by the cover of this album I would never have heard The Veda Rays (well, if it weren’t for the fact that I must listen to them in order to review them).

I listen several times, some thoughts come to me, I start to write them down, I read

Even a day or two can pass without listening to this album and there is still a faint remnant of a song stuck in my mind. Most prominently so “Loss of Desire”, the title track, does this. After a while, eventually it fades completely and I am onto some different music. Then I find the CD in my car again and the cycle continues. Loss of Desire is the
