Occupied in creating new forms of life from plastic tubing
(all mechanical)
Blurring the boundaries in our minds between art and engineering
(biological)
They’re born, they grow, they age, they die.
Through time evolve, weathered and changed
Captivating, mesmerising, walking on the wind.
Skeletons creeping on the sand inexorably self-propelling
(scatological)
Storing air in their reservoirs, pressure pumping piston muscles
(respirational)
Stomachs and wings and legs and brains,
rotating spine, they move in herds.
Striving to equip his creatures with artificial understanding
(intellectual)
They adapt to environments, and respond to their surroundings
(habitational)
Live their own lives, they self preserve
Surviving storms, they anchor down.

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...

A truly GREAT! live album that captures all the classic tracks from Cocoon and the songs benefit really well by having a band with him, even though Pete Jones can even sound well good on his own. It's highly entertaining and truly captures what would of been a magical night and comes with an excellent honest recording that makes you feel like you are actually there yourself. Lee Lucas
