What a great (and great sounding) album of quiet contemporary retro prog. G
Have a look on You Tube at the official 'Drag Ropes' video.
As for the album - some utterly amazing pieces, in other parts the production (of all things) lets it down I think. The production thing is (very ) likely to be intentional I guess, but I don't understand why that would be?
I just love the final few tracks, I have to admit. A friend was round this afternoon, and we were supposed to leave at 5pm. Didnt happen, 5.45 and the phone call - where are you?? Thats what this album does - drags you in.
Thanks for that - A stragely sinister yet beautiful film to match the music. I need to listen louder to hear the true recording quality but at moderate volume it sounds nice. G

Well something aint quiet right for me with most of track three, especially when the 'orchestra' (mellotron?) kicks in. Maybe as I said, done on purpose for atmosphere. I just doesn't work for me as the voices over the mix just distort @ 3.55 on. Why??
Other than that - a great album and to be fair i'm probably nit-picking, but then again - he is "THE" re-engineer king at the moment.
Graeme,
Thank you for the heads up! I guess I'd have bought it blindly anyway, but watching the movie on Youtube made the decision even more evident.

It doesn't come easy though....
