Damn this is a good review, I admire the fact that you threw Yes a bone and gave proper recognition to old school prog. Thanks for sharing.

These guys are all class. And this John Cobbett is something else. He has been involved with Ludicra, The Lord Weird Slough Feg, and the Hammers. He sure picks his projects and musicians well. Intelligent music with a strong independent vibe. That’s all I could ask for really.

counting these together as a single entity, this was one of the top 5 albums of 2008! I’m not sure if it can top the sheer brilliance of The August Engine but it is a step up from The Locust Years, a great album in its own right!

Thank you for the feedback, ceno! I have had these discs in my player for two months, no joke, and I hear something new every time I listen to them. Great band!

Excellent review and thanks for reminding me about this album. As much as I like The Locust Years and The August Engine, I still haven’t heard Fields and Church. Gonna remedy it asap.
