Have you heard "Never Anyone But You" from The Clientele's staggeringly pretty "Bonfires On The Heath" cd (Pointy)?  What did you think of it?  Did it make you want to cry, it was so beautiful?  Did you find your breath taken when you first heard Alasdair sing "I can only see you"?  I know I did.  I've been repeatedly floored by The Clientele's music since first picking up the "Reflections After Jane" 7" when it came out some time in the late '90s so it shouldn't have come as anything close to a surprise that once again they'd bettered their best and produced something almost unearthly in its beauty.  But somehow it was a surprise.  Not because I didn't expect their new album to be impeccably recorded and bursting with glorious melodies, beautiful instrumentation and stunning guitar playing but because, well, I'm just average, unexceptional old me and I don't have it in me to imagine that something so unquantifiably gorgeous could actually exist.  I truly believe "Never Anyone But You" to be a masterpiece, a pinnacle.  I honestly can't conceive of how they can better it but I'm sure they will and when it happens I will offer a few more lines of giddy praise but once again it won't be enough to adequately express my admiration for what they've achieved.
