2022-11-14 08:52:04 +0000 UTCI'm so pleased you like this album so much. It's one of my favourites and definitely their most underrated. It also helped me at a tough time and so will always be precious to me.

2022-11-13 16:22:07 +0000 UTCI always thought ‘movie rich’ concerned the quality / look of our own reflection in the train window - like seeing yourself on a TV screen? Open to interpretation maybe?

2022-11-13 14:01:10 +0000 UTCI really love these extended dives into the albums and makes me wish you'd spent as long with the earlier ones. Maybe at some point you could do a 'deluxe version' of the albums you whizzed through a little.
