Side Three ("The Order Of Protection"), along with "Cast Out And Cold" and "Eternal" form a song suite that was the first thing written for Infernal in 2007 immediately after Doomsday Afternoon. It took some years for me to figure out the lyrics and put it into shape, but the structure was there. Once, it might have formed a 25 minute single suite.
lyrics
the order of protection (one)
do you see how the shepherd herds the sheep
he protects them for their meat – we bleat, we bleat
do you see (or do you choose to believe)
that the cage will set you free
imprisonment and tea

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
