     The last album by Stephen Duffy's underrated pop combo is, in many ways,
     its strongest. The group's gorgeous acoustic-based sound had been perfected
     by this point, and Duffy offers up his strongest batch of songs to date.
     From the sensual opener, "In Iverna Gardens," to the exquisite closing
     ballad, "Madresfield," this is a consistently great album. "Grey Skies and
     Work Things" is typical of the album's mood -- quiet, sensual, melancholy,
     and romantic. "Dreaming" is a slight return to the dance-oriented sound
     that typified Duffy's pre-Lilac Time solo work, but it still fits in well
     with the more subdued acoustic numbers. The Lilac Time's only release on
     Creation Records, Astronauts sold poorly and the group split shortly
     thereafter. However, it remains -- along with the solo follow-up, Music in
     Colors -- Duffy's strongest work and a great introduction to his talents.
