Vultures wait in the everglades
Staying very still they can calculate our fate:
Danger
Mosquitoes wait for the candidate
Staying very still though they undulate, they crave:
Strangers
But it's all they know
It's all that comes through
It's all they know
And all that consumes with a violence
It comes through in the silence
I want you to know
I want you
Vultures fly over passersby
With a hunting eye that is never dry and cries
When it's all through
Mosquitoes wait in the Bering straits
Hover high and low over frozen space
Hearts can freeze too
And it's all you know
It's all that comes through you
It's all you know
And all that consumes you with violence
It comes through you in silence
Vultures down in the underground
In a tunnel where they are often found
Surrounded but alone
Mosquitoes swarm until early dawn
With a life so short they can not afford
Delaying, playing, saying, praying
'Cuz it's all they know
And all that comes through you
And all that consumes you in the silence
It comes through you with violence

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.

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
