An artistic genius is at work here. This album is so much better than the rather light, radio-friendly single Whole of the Moon (as much as that surpasses so much radio). There is some rich music here, including Trumpets, Old England, the Pan Within and the title track closer. A great mix of poetry and orchestration that is so underrated by history. ...Close your eyes, breathe slow and we will begin...

This one has to be under-rated... So many great tracks and a thrilling thing to listen to right through!
