Here is my final gift to you on this first Coronavirus dispatch. This is performed by my folk rock group The SunMachine and is a song that I dearly love. There are major problems, and I would fix so much. This version doesn't have all the ingredients (notably, the absent melody at 3:10, where only the harmony exists from the recording...). One day this will appear in a shiny "fixed" version, but take a listen as a demo, as an idea from a long ago distant time... 1992

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
