I actually heard about 90% of the album now plus the non-album tracks from the cd single but thanks for the link anyway.
I'm here to say that this is Paul's version of XTC's "Apple Venus Vol. 1" -- low-key melancholy. It's sad, and filled with the kind of wistful gorgeousness Macca has only *very occasionally* stumbled across in his later career ('Little Willow' maybe, and a few others). Its almost all slow and pretty, too, with only a very few mid-tempo numbers and none of the embarassing rockers he sometimes puts forward.
Hat's off to Nigel Godrich for the warm production and bringing out the best out of Paul. Actually didn't he produce Sea Change by Beck? A couple of tracks on this has the same kind of feel as that album.
