The Midnight Messenger Came to this band very late and I must confess only because they were playing various dates with one of my firm favs Kaprekar’s Constant so I thought I’d better take a listen to what they had on offer...and well I now have all three albums and a huge convert...so much so that the neighbours will get to know them too over the next few weeks...if you ever get a chance to watch them live...you are in for a big treat...they command the stage and the audience as their own...

Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) This is the band that made me bump into bandcamp.com. Accidently heard "Words Of Mouth And Heart" on the "Symphonic Rock" channel of radcap.ru, and immediately loved it. Alas, it turned out to be very difficult to find this record for sale, but finally, bandcamp.com came to the rescue. Awesome progressive music with lots of unusual twists and melodies, stunning arrangements, and never getting boring. This is how prog rock should be... Favorite track: Word Of Mouth And Heart.

bob withers Big Big Train's Facebook page have been raving about this band for quite a while - 2nd album "Land of Shadows" is marvellous, but this, the debut from 8 years earlier, is equally as good. A real find....!
