lyrics

After the Titanic sank, I swam for weeks on end against the ice-cold sea
Six weeks in the sea, was battered at last against a barren rock,
So here I squat now, growing a beard of icicles in the storm
That howls across the barren islet, and labour to obliterate...
Three kinds of grief: for those who have drowned
And those who live on, and for myself.
While far behind me, washed up on the shoreline,
All that I once loved is decaying now, to be discarded for good:
My case with the music in it, book with the words in it
My trunk with the recipes, my soul with all that I used to feel
So I start anew now in the frozen wasteland
For time is seemingly endless
Spit in your palms and rub your hands, there’s work to be done, old man!

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

Mysterious, yet nostalgic, Isolubilia is truly an ode to the romance found in the pursuit of a mystery. Musically rich in turbulence and serenity, majesty and humbleness, this album made me feel both lonely, yet understood as an isolated individual. Perhaps we're all fellow romantics, looking up at the same night sky, trying to wring our own meaning out of the stars. I hope that pursuit never ends. The John

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
