“A great album - one of my absolute faves. Very much in the vein of Slanted and Enchanted era Pavement (including a Pavement cover of Perfume-V as a hidden track at the end). No one knows these guys and this album somehow managed to be roundly ignored, a fact that still mystifies me. The type of album a famous rockstar will fish out of a discount bin (download from a discount music website?) two decades from now and proclaim as genius (a la Nick Drake). Spare yourself the wait - buy it now.” - P. Hall (http://www.amazon.com/Further-Sal-Paradise/dp/B000003ZFQ)

“16 tracks of acoustic-based, melancholy dreams from Australia's Sal Paradise. Insightful lyrics with subtle songs and textures. Liner notes contain an explanation of each track. Songs reaching back into the band's prehistory with tracks from Disclosure and Speed of Life, as well as Further. The album was recorded solo by singer-songwriter JJ Miller and released by Velvet Blue Music. This reissue has the complete and originally intended artwork, including lyrics and liner notes to each song.” (from http://www.discogs.com/Sal-Paradise-For-You-And-Before-You/release/2767821)
