woe_bonnet The synths in the opening track go right for the pons... The rest is history! I'll be listening to this album until I croak. 🐸

The gaye device Rainy introspective contemplative moments, neon lights reflecting in puddles and cosmic excursions whirl around my mind when listening to this album. Great stuff!

Andrew Hickford Just a stunning album. Timeless music of depth and quality Favorite track: How The Nights Can Fly.

Multi talented UK Jazz Pianist Greg Foat has teamed up with Mercury Award nominated “The Bees” member and multi instrumentalist Warren Hampshire to collaborate on a new LP drawing on their diverse musical influences. Classic British library music, 60s Italian soundtracks & lost Americana combined with touches of modern classical, minimalism, Jazz and Folk. Featuring many members of Greg and Warren's previous bands and one of the U.Ks finest Jazz drummers, Clark Tracy, the LP also features an Edinburgh orchestra and soloists hand picked and scored by the boys.

Recorded all analogue onto 2" multitrack in Edinburgh, mixed down by Mattias Glavå at his studio in Gothenburg, Sweden then mastered and cut in Helsinki, Finland, it's truly a European affair flying in the face of the brexit nightmare. Release June 2017

I don't listen to kind of thing very often these days, and I honestly can't think of any good reason why. Too many pies and too many fingers to shove into them, it seems. Anyway I discovered this album a while ago and kept coming back for more, so it's high time I stopped prevaricating and actually buy the damned thing. Ben Harris
