a) Supper’s Calling
I wonder what’s for dinner tonight
If everything works out all right
I’ll be feasting
So let's see what’s for dinner tonight
A treat below that beats with life
It’s calling, bleating, breathing, bleeding
I sense your presence, smell you near - sneaking, hiding
I hear your heart and feel your fear - flowing, moving
Behold it soon will all be clear
My eyes, shining: hypnotizing
b) The Shepherdess
You’ve lost control
You’ve lost your way home
Out in the cold
You’ve lost your way home
You’ve lost your way home
You’ve lost your way home, out in the cold…
c) A Brief History Of Truth And Beauty
I will live again
Up from the air of my succulent lair
I will rise anew
Into the wind I will move my wings
I will feed again
Drain to the depths with my clean teeth and breath
I am beauty
I am beauty
Once for awhile there was light beside the dark
Once long ago there was fire because of spark
Secrets have faded, shadows have grown
We are just wanderers whose path is unknown
Unknown….
I am free at last
Take in a breath, there’s no looking back
I go circling
Spying from high, I watch my prize
I will wipe the sleep from red glowing eyes and prepare to arrive
This is beauty
(I couldn’t ask for anything more)
d) Chupacabras Stomp
All that we have ever known
Is seeking love and wanting home
All that we have ever known
Is seeking love and wanting home
Creator
I bring the gift of everlasting dream
Creator
I bring the gift of life between the seams
I bring the gift…
e) Get My Goat
f) Study And Review
Secrets have faded, shadows have grown
We are just wanderers whose path is unknown
The path is unknown…
g) The Gift
I will live again
Deliver myself from waiting in stealth
I will rise again
Meet you alive on the other side
I am freedom
I am freedom, you couldn’t ask for anything more
You couldn’t ask for anything
Creator…
All that we have ever known
Is seeking love and wanting home
…unknown
I am freedom
I will free them
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...

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.

Former members of Phenomenal Handclap Band expand on their “everything but the kitchen sink” approach, adding rich vocals and finely-textured arrangements. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 30, 2016
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
