Wasn't too sure on first listening. This is not background listening and deserves your full attention. I said ATTENTION you at the back. Been listening again and it has blown me away. It is as dark as Rock Bottom but more sparse. Twisted ear writes a very good review of the first two parts.

However the third part is more jazzy with coruscating layers that build beautiful soundscapes, again as per Rock Bottom. Fragments harps back to one of the first songs in part one. It is only just over a minute long but leaves you crying for more.
Robert is a unique voice who can rip your heart out with the beauty of his music. Not to everyone's taste but give it a good try before dismissing or you may be overlooking a treasure that will bring joy.

Martin Drew / Mornington Locket at BJC
Fantastic gig last night at the Jazz Club. The opening number had Martin playing some really creative driving drum lines. Jeremy Brown, on bass, was up to this fantastic band. Mornington was on top form playing some great Coltrane style lines that I love and Steve Melling was really rocking, playing some very long and grooving solos. Bliss. What I would give to play like that.
