Hey boys. I was flicking through the channels and i am pleasantly surprised to see you on Channel M right NOW! I caught you live with Dev in Mancs a few months back and I have a good feeling it will go stellar soon!
i'm listenning to the mini-lp (sadly nobody has tagged it on my player lol so you can't see i'm telling the truth hehe) and it's really great, the more i listen to it the more i like well done guys!
I just listened to my new copy of The Lay of The Land, The Turn of the Tide. Copy? No - I bought it. You are very original. Certainly a difference in the production. More streamlined but still eclectic and esoterical and artistic and deep and heavy. All words I really like. To be absolutely honest - I hope you don't delete the comment - probably still a bit too esoterical to launch you into the stratosphere of rock giants but I think its probably like a gradual climb up a steep mountain in a very powerful car. The engine is undoubtedly good enough to get you to the top in the end but its a very steep mountain and the low gears are best for the start. Im not analysing - I think that is what it is. A very arty start to something edging towards a bigger deeper more encompassing sound. Thats actually how it sounds - earie tunnels interspersed with more rockier interludes. I cant really put a knife through it to be frank. Its original. Thats what original is. But I listened to Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd. Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Lynrd Skynrd, Hawkwind, Ozric Tentacles, Gay Bykers on Acid and god knows what else at various points so I must have a tiny bit of an inkling about rock even if I did end up in a trance dance rave speaker for a decade. Fred's deep voice, those drums, the music, everything...I cant write an NME esque review right now but I might give it a try. It reflects the moment, the era, the times, with a little bit more honestly than Cajun Dance Party and Jack Penate, lets just say that hey!
