Black & White 050505 clocks in at just over 40 minutes, but never leaves the listener feeling shortchanged as Jim Kerr and company have excised any filler from the set. The atmospheric build of Stay Visible leads off this tight collection of nine songs. The opening piano mixed with a quietly bubbling synthesizer lends a cinematic feel to the track, so that the listener is appropriately blown away when co-founder Charlie Burchill’s guitar kicks in almost a full minute later. The first single, Home, which Kerr has described as “a pop song with a spiritual heart, taking us on a secret journey through the thoughts of someone who is desperately seeking out their own inner crusade,” seems to accurately reflect the epic feel of the band’s work and remind the listener that quality pop music is still being made.
