It’s built around a propulsive but modest Guitar riff while Baxter half talks/half sings over the top in his distinctive voice. Conveniently for the uninitiated, this 7″ has his previous best song, ‘Cocaine Man’ on the other side. It was one of my ‘Top 100 Tracks Of 2005′ and ‘Love In The Garden’ is destined to be in my 2006 list.

Since Mr Levi has backed it with four extra tracks, I’ll forgive the fact that he hasn’t come up with a new A-side. It seems from reading the lyrics that the title ‘Blue Honey’ is about being a depressed Bee (They’re pretty strange so I could be wrong). The track revolves around a hypnotically repetitive Guitar riff with massed handclaps and all manner of strange sound effects over the top of that.
