Release Notes:
--------------
After the extraordinary critical reception given to the last missive
from Twelve Thousand Days, the duo of Martyn Bates (Eyeless In Gaza,
Ann Clark, Scorn) and Alan Trench (Orchis, Temple Music) return with
their third, full length album. Following the same trajectory as 'The
Devil In The Grain' , the new album finds the pair once again
traversing misty spheres far from the mundane, sending back snatched
images and visions of the spirit of Albion, of upwardflying sparks
drifting and wreathing in the chilly dawn updrafts of clay, soil, the
dank loam of the valleys, the bright, white light of the uplands and,
above all, the view from the Walled Garden. Martyn Bates has never
sounded in better voice than on this cycle of ten songs, backed with
minimal yet luscious instrumentation from the duo aided and abetted on
three tracks by Stephen Robinson (The Beloved, Temple Music).
The sound, as ever, is acoustically based with guitars and whistles
underpinned by bow psalteries, bass, string machine, autoharp, ring
modulator, glass harp, moseno, dulcimers, bells, e-bows, thumb piano
and pixiphone. :)
