Description

A CD of two halves, as it were, as it alternates songs by Les Holyroyd (known for his wistful ballads) and those by John Lees of no fixed style! Les returns to an ecology theme with "Who do we think we are?" "Knoydart" is a "What I did on my holidays" quirky ditty that, appropriately enough, is in the right rythmn for a Scottish reel. "Copii Romanii" is a hauting appeal on behalf of the children of Romania. "Back to Earth" is a most poignant, unambiguous tribute to a departed father. "Cold War" sees Les return to an lament for Central Europe. "Forever Yesterday" is about an episode in 19th Scotlandmore… - the clearances. How many bands write about that? We're back to more familiar territory - love in "The Great Unknown". "Spud-U-like" is another quirky one about children's fascination with computer games, complete with sound effects. Longtime fans have debated endlessly about this track and it stirs up opposing strong emotions. I think it works very well. "Silver Wings" is another big Holroyd ballad. "Once More" is a reworking of the ever-popular "Mockingbird". "A Matter of Time" is not unlike "Silver Wings". And the album ends on a real beauty, the atmospheric "Ballad of Denshaw Mill" based on a local Saddleworth legend where BJH live. Hauntingly ethereal, it explore, by chance, themes from the folk song "The Wife of Usher's Well". A terrific album - not just for BJH completists.
