I purchased my copy a month ago, and have to say that it was a disappointment. Each track is OK - clever harmonies, and well sung, but the overall effect is bland and boring, and on occasion a bit classical choral. I was surprised, as I have been tracking the trio's performance since their first live gig, and despite reservations, had thought on last seeing them live earlier this year that the evening was very enjoyable. Having said that, on analysing the CD in it's entirety I think the problem is that most(if not all) the tracks are paced extremely slowly, and on checking it out, with only about one exception, they are all pitched in the same start key - so what's lacking is any sense of variety, and overall any sense of fire or vitality, all compounded by the lack of verve which you hopefully get with a live performance.

Which is a shame, as I so very dearly WANTED to like the CD. They're great kids, and their enthusiasm and commitment to what they're doing can't be faulted (although their stagecraft can - more experience will probably temper the giggly girly episodes, I hope - too much of that can be intensely irritating!)

I rather feel that the folk press has been doing them no favours - continual references to the "new folk supergroup" lead to exceedingly high expectations on the part of paying punters. I have no doubt that eventually TDI may match up to that description, but IMHO I think they still have a bit of a way to go before they reach that point.
