Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-))
Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .
Favorite track: Rose Parkington, They Would Not Let You Leave.

I've been sleeping on this for way too long. Just a gorgeously jazzy and organic prog rock journey. Beautifully weird, ornate and complex.
Favorite track: Rose Parkington, They Would Not Let You Leave.

This Canterbury-infused record has a lot of the qualities that I love in prog rock: structured yet unpredictable songwriting; production that, unlike much new prog, does not sound like something recorded in an aseptic vacuum chamber; many different instruments that work together favouring empathic synergy over aimless technical noodling; different layers and moods seamlessly woven together; the rare capacity of not taking itself too seriously; and much more. A bold and inventive masterwork.
Favorite track: Rose, Rubus, Smilax, Vulkan.

Some day soon, when the sun goes down
Deep in the earth, volcano birth!
Green, turn brown, turn to orange briar
To be a flame - consume again
When we climb, we are divine, but still we fall back in the slime
Some day soon, when the sun goes down
Deep in the earth, volcano birth!
Rose! Rubus! Smilax! Vulkan!
Nothing grows. No embryo
All we are, are we all?
Burning contradiction
You play my game now
My teacher, my teacher understands
All that I am
She's quite a star pupil
Even on a rainy day
No one could know that behind those blue eyes...
My teacher, my teacher understands
Gras, forma, vim, motum...
She's quite a star pupil
Even on a rainy day
My teacher, my teacher understands...
You can slip off the edge of the world
On God's own banana skin
You can slip off the edge of the world
On God's own banana skin
And go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...
You can slip off the edge of the world
On God's own banana skin
You can slip off the edge of the world
On God's own banana skin
And go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...
He says,
There's room for everyone
He says,
There's room for everyone
Hey man! Don't throw me overboard, I can't swim!
Hey man! Don't throw me overboard, I can't swim!
And go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down...
So you know everything?
But I know, I know, I know, I
Saw something to make me think
And I know, I know, I know, I
No! Karin, don't go there
No! Karin, don't go there
So you know everything?
But I know, I know, I know, I
Saw something to make me think
And I know, I know, I know, I
It hits you like hot lead
The morning is always on time
Like a clockwork toy
It's fascinating to the eye
We gift you the fruit seed
The precious egg
Now fertilised
And give you our offering
A paen to every summer born
Huge machine
You are so heavy
You can't burn me, I'm the Winter man
You can't burn me, I'm the cold man

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
In 2019, I was in Salisbury and attended the Alphabet Business Convention without knowing any artist. Lost Crowns was my favourite band that played there. Pablo P.
