Release Notes:
'Rarely has a piece of music actually sounded so
idyllic for a setting far beyond your wildest
imagination.
Although it clocks in at 18-minutes long, donÆt be
put off by 'Condor And River'. It is, quite simply,
a breathtaking journey. We begin by a deserted
roadside, probably somewhere in the Rutland
countryside, that runs and hides at various
intervals through a maze of trees and undergrowth,
before arriving at its tragic end in shallow waters
several miles later.
"They found your clothes by a lake," utters Tom
Morris some seven minutes into the already haunting
overture of guitar and percussion, struggling to
retell the harrowing story that envelopes 'Condor
And River' from beginning to end.
Musically you could say this is somewhere between
the vast historical landscapes of iLiKETRAiNS and
the organic simplicity of Shady Bard, yet all the
time there is an overtly sinister edge that suggests
something life-changing (or should that be ending?)
is about to take control at any second. Almost like
the incidental music to a short narrative about one
man's struggle and ultimate failure for survival, in
fact.
Whatever the inspiration for this, it sure as hell
makes listening to straightforward three-minute
trad-pop songs impossible afterwards, and simply
begs the question: why can't all artists be as
ambitiously prophetic as this?'
