Please post more! Chris Bowden has been a must-hear must-buy artist for me since way back when he played on Palmskin Productions' Spock With a Beard. His Time Capsule was brilliant -- fantastic compositions, arranging, playing, and the all-acoustic instruments. 4Hero's Two pages with Chris on Planetarium was brilliant. It's hard to keep up with him, though, in the backwater states of country music.
That sax player is god-awful. Terrible whiney tone and bad intonation problems. The sax solo doesn't develop well at all. I just seems to wander aimlessly and has very little melodic interest. Hopefully, you guys are enjoying yourselves, though .......
@JMFPilot Do you still get lessons with Neil? I saw him play a while back and was blown away. Had a chat with him afterwards and he seemed like a great guy too!
I went to this gig - this band were hot as this video shows. I saw them more recently at the Rainbox in Birmingham and they were even better. The stuff they are doing is really interesting and individually they are all brilliant players. I love Chris's sax playing, Ben is kicking on the bass, and Neil is simply a joy to watch and listen to. In terms of albums to buy the second one is superior the first - next album promiese to be even better. Go and see these guys!
