lyrics

Walk in circles, pace this ground
Crack the floor, what I've found
Frightened faces, truth or lie?
Spines presented, should I try?

Treading softly through solid air
Glimpse of guidance but nothing is there
Knowing smiles, face of stone
Elbowed ribs bite to the bone.

Remember the days spent in astronaut suits
Laying about chewing slate off thatched roofs
Sucking sugar and cocoa beans
And never sure of what it all means
Remember the weeks blinking bloodshot eyes
Clawing the walls waiting for sand to rise
The hour glass cracking behind the scenes
And still not certain of what it all means.

Seething freezing, voices in mind
Exposing metal, rust I find
Whispered notions, a door ajar
Grains fall down, gone too far.

Moving silent, tombs and stone
Discarded memories that I have known
A token gesture, a trip a fall
Broken feelings, nothing at all.

Remember the days spent in astronaut suits
Laying about chewing slate off thatched roofs
Sucking sugar and cocoa beans
And never sure of what it all means
Remember the weeks blinking bloodshot eyes
Clawing the walls waiting for sand to rise
The hour glass cracking behind the scenes
And still not certain of what it all means.

Remember the months catching bottles of rain
Cracking our backs and feeling the flames
Jumping off walls, avoid the incoming tide
Wondering when it would all subside
Remember the years going slowly insane
Clocks ticking backwards but the memory remains
The empty circles where once you tried
Always certain it would all subside.

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...

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
