I have been to the Arctic . . . Higher Intelligence Agency and Biosphere were my Hosts, and very congenial company they proved to be too. You might think . . . that the sounds of floes and bergs lifting, shifting, and drifting, icecaps massively melting, cold synthesised shards and slivers of steel mingling with the disembodied voices of unresolved conversations, and the relentless vastness of the echoing skies . . .would leave one in a shivering deep freeze replete with dry ice in one's heart and soul . . . actually, no. This is a disc of peculiar and subtle allure, resonating with a strange shimmering beauty that captivates that part of the spirit which other musics cannot reach. Either . . . buy it and Cherish it. Or . . . convey it gently but with all speed to The One You Love Most as a precious gift . . . I have chosen the latter path . . . alan/beyondthebristolsound
