And I'm not feeling great
Thank you for asking
But I don't think you'd want
To hear about me crumbling
So I'll say that I'm find
Though something inside me has died
Feel like I'm broken inside
And I'm tired
And I'm not really great
Don't show, don't tell
I think I did quite well
Kept on, for another day
But if we didn't have to pretend
So much of the time
That we're alright
Sometimes It's OK not to be fine
And I'm not feeling great
But I don't think you'd want
To hear about me crumbling
So I'll say that I'm find
Though something inside me has died
Feel like I'm broken inside
And I'm tired
And I'm not really great
Everytime I win
There's something less to give
The next attack
But if we didn't have to pretend
So much of the time
That we're alright
Sometimes it's OK not to be fine
But I don't think you'd want
To hear about me crumbling
So I'll say that I'm find
Though something inside me has died
Feel like I'm broken inside
And I'm tired
And I'm not really great

Somehow these tracks hit the sweet spot of having emotional drive and payoffs without feeling like they're just 'highlights reels' stolen from earlier minimalist composers, or like academic exercises. The instrumentation/production is fantastic too and never sounds tinny or fake. In both the long tracks and the slow tracks themes and timbres evolve at just the right rate to be engaging but also to let you enjoy each stage of the overlapping lines. Excellent!

To Touch the Sky

Wonderful, beautiful, densely layered music. I'm glad I gave this album several headphone listens before commenting. It did not immediately strike a chord with me, but the more I listened the more I began to understand and appreciate how fantastically rich and deep the sound is. For fans of atmospheric and melodic prog, this is an excellent addition. Bass and drum work are exquisite!

For those that remember the Look and Read series in the early eighties (which had such programmes as 'Dark Towers'), in my opinion this music evokes those feelings of mystery and wonder. Very, very impressed.
