A very good album on the Naim label. Trichotomy. Lots of influences in this piano trio album but the biggest is Esbjorn Svensson who comes through loud and clear. Nice job by Simon signing these guys.

Over the course of an hour and a half, however, Midlake are undone by the very zeal of their conversion. The Courage songs are all virtually identical. What begins as great beauty becomes blunted by repetitiveness. The flutes come out a little too often. Guiltily, you begin to wonder what's on TV.

I'd go along with that. Tried it this evening and could well be added to the collection.

Unfortunately I have never been invited onto Spotify so can't access it.
