Elaine Tierney and Jack Rollo’s »Ballads« mix tape is legendary. »Searchlight Moonbeam« is not only a successor to that compilation, but also follows in the footsteps of the excellent »Sky Girl« compilation, which also appeared on Efficient Space. Big shoes to fill. And they have been filled. In no uncertain terms. One revelation after another, folk, post-punk, classical, all immersed in that special time-is-away atmosphere, that full-on sentimentality. It gets better every time listen you listen to it, so much so, you may never ever need another record.
