Released in 2004, it sees the former \u003cstrong\u003eSavage Garden\u003c\/strong\u003e frontman embracing darker electronic textures, introspective lyrics, and innovative production. The album’s emotional depth and vulnerability shine through in standout tracks like \u003cem\u003ePopular\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDarkness\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eUnlovable\u003c\/em\u003e. Produced in collaboration with \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Conley\u003c\/strong\u003e, this record explores themes of identity, struggle, and renewal — blending moody synth-pop with cinematic atmosphere. This South African copy-protected CD edition reflects Hayes’s creative freedom and willingness to take risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrading:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (second-hand).
