lyrics

I’m packin’ my suitcase,
I’m leaving on the morning train,
I’m getting out of this old city,
Not coming back this way again,
My baby’s gone and left me, left me with those blues again.

And repeat.

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed. Trebör

Prog can be accused of being backward looking in terms of instrumentation and production. No way with this lot. Loops, drum loops alongside the melody. Prog done modern IMO. Chris Emmerson

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite! paliojen_black
