Another early start accompanied this time by the studio run-through of Yes' 'Giants Under The Sun' from TFTO. A bit ropier than The Remembering, but interesting.
No All Day Breakfast Show ready frm Wippit, which is a bit odd. Their server was down, but I eventually picked it up at work via iTunes. I'm going cold turkey.
I got, on recommendation, Mew's 'And the Glass Handed Kites' the other day, so listened to that for the rest of my commute.
It's supposed to be neo-prog/indie, but I can't see the prog bit. I hear bits of Sigur Ros with Midlake, with a striking similarity to WitchHazel (I don't know much about this band, I just picked up Land Locked in Greenwich market a few years ago for 50p and for about 2 years afterwards saw it everywhere at a similar price). This album is a bit long, but it is interesting. I like the bass sound and some of the harmonies are pretty good.
Circuitry of the Wolf,
Chinaberry Tree,
Why Are You Looking Grave?
Fox Club,
Apocalypso,
Special,
Zookeeper's Boy - very nice,
Dark Design,
Saviours of the Jazz Ballet,
Envoy to the Open Fields,
Small Ambulance,
Seething Rain Weeps for You,
White Lips Kissed,
Louisa Louisa.
The last two tracks are probably the best, although the middle bit between Special and Saviours... is very strong too.
For the walk from Tube station to work I opted for Mike Oldfield's Crises a) 'cos it's 20 minutes long b) for a change of scene and c) I like it.
T - 4; M - 4; D- 3
