Howard - I love the track Overnight Sleeper. When this came out, this album was a bit difficult for some of his fans as it was the first one where he did the vocals. I always liked it a lot though.

I keep seeing this on my musical travels, so will now join you to try it out on Spotify. Off to a promising start.

I've Maurice (mo0mo0) here to thank for me getting the Midlake album (they've another one out soonish too). I'd heard a remix of the opening track a while ago without realising who it was, until he posted the album here a couple of months ago.

Their harmonies are so good, and the title track just sounds really sad (in a good way!)

Really liking this one, so will get this. It is a bit like a seventies version of the Fleet Foxes sixties attempt with the harmonies but better than that - maybe I am underselling it as I do not like FF. Thanks CC/mo0mo0.

The remix is probably the Beyond the Wizard's Sleeve remix of 'Roscoe' - an absolute class piece of Balearic disco loveliness...Their album of remixes (including Goldfrapp and Badly Drawn Boy) is awesome, and has been posted on here before by someone.

been trying too much new stuff lately, so it's back to the rock solid choices of youth...ah youth!

Heep good music

Now on Spotify:-

Second play in a few days and the growing on me nicely. Can be purchased for less than a fiver if you want to take a chance.

Here is the Amazon Review...

One of the most anticipated and capable British debuts of 1999 arrived via Wigan, Lancashire in the form of this late night, blissed-out music with an edge. Witness are built around the delightfully understated droning psychedelic slide guitar of Ray Chan and the simmering laments delivered in the stoner, near-falsetto vocals of Gerard Starkie. Refuting the chorus-verse-chorus structure, Witness songs spiral and sprawl, yet rarely meander off course. Ultimately, Before The Calm pulls between being a rustic Verve, a more guitar-based Spiritualized and a lighter--yet still superbly atmospheric--British take on Lambchop and the quieter side of Son Volt. Subsequent live performances suggest that they've gone onto a higher and even more consistent level, but this still is a strong foundation from which to build.

Watching the snow fall, listening to some Jazz - it might well be a very long AF/BN night.

My boys could not resist a late night snowball fight. Genesis in Concert on DVD from the 1976-82 Box Set (Trick of the Tail DVD). Bill Bruford drumming with the band. Great to watch.
