In 2004, I tried to make an album in a day. It turned out to be an album written in a day, but fleshed out over a year... This is the version of Have You Hugged Your Robot from that first day with none of the embellishments. I like the energy. The words aren't quite finished...

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
