I applaud them for paying respect to the original and it's certainly no slouch but for me the naiveté and intimacy of Ant's version (especially his voice, the thin, yearning texture suits the lyrics so much better than this chap's voice which is, to me, pleasent but quickly forgotten)... The instrumental sections are nice but they just don't strike my core... Sorry fellas, much respect though!
Far Skies Deep Time and The Underfall Yard are IMHO the best prog albums since Selling England and The Lamb. And they have the best line up in their history. I hope BBT will become Nick's number 1 project !
@editzel The original is a rather boring tune I almost felt asleap too, but this cover was much better, just like what the original should have been like, seeing the musicians on that Anthony Phillips album; much of his old bandmates from Genesis.
I was looking for a band to listen to something awesome and new... OOOOH YEEESS, I think i came to the right place!

Big Big Train is quickly and surely becoming my favorite current progressive rock act.

@Naflemac Well, the original is a demo rather than a completed song, so it's not quite fair to compare them.
