Could have been a bit full-on for 7am, but Alison's fantastic breathy vocals made everything alright.

And following with this, their debut, and their finest imo:
Surreal, startling, cinematic, it's all of those things. And Alison's voice makes my hairs stand on end at times. Makes the top twenty of my favourite albums, but I ration myself so I don't get sick of it.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Long time no hear:
My set up really favours these 80's recordings - I suspect the 2M Black with its super-critical Shibata stylus. Thicker 180g pressings can often sound a bit thick and slow, thinner discs a bit 'faster on their feet'.
About 500 hours on cart now, so saving for replacement stylus. Maybe I should try some thing a little less critical

This arrived yesterday, purchased from the bands website, I had not heard of them and noticed someone else posted it on a listening thread, so based on the comments took a chance. This is my second listen and I have to say it is superb, if you have a read of the bands biog on their web site it will give you and idea of what to expect. https://thiswintermachine.uk/about/
By the way the album is very well recorded and mixed, great dynamics and presentation, vinyl is near silent apart from the music.
A must have for any Prog Rocker!
