Incorporating more synth elements into their usual blend of bright, poppy Canterbury-Sound revival prog rock, Syd Arthur manage to score a hat trick.
Said synthesizers may replace some of the folkier sounds heard previously in their discog, but that hardly means they don't add to the already rich tapestry so far woven by the band; 'Coal Mine' opens up nicely with the crisp drums and strings, the title track has a great driving groove to it, and 'Seraphim' has a cracking almost-doomy second half Xtra Happy

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
