I have all three Britton projects and they are all good quality to me. Probably prefer Cerebus Effect, but B&B not far behind. Definitely looking forward to the new album.

Hmm. I feel like I'm missing something here... I listened to Deluge Grander's debut a few times and it never really stuck with me. If the Birds and Buildings myspace samples are anything to go by then this project is much the same. What is it about Britton's compositions which makes them so forgettable to me, I wonder?

Birds and Buildings are quite excellent as a matter of fact.

Avestin, thanks so much for the info! Multipurpose Trap has got to be some of the best news I've heard in ages.
I also think that Deluge Grander will be my next purchase, though I think that I'll pick up their debut before buying The Form of the Good. It's cool to hear about All Over Everywhere. I'm not sure if it'll be my cup of tea but Megan's voice is incredible and of course Dan is extremely gifted so it'll be worth a listen at least, I think. Kestrel, I know what you mean. I feel they ought to be rated a lot higher than they are. I don't think they're getting the publicity they need. Like you've said they've mostly got a MySpace page and that's it. People need to spread the word! |

I also love Birds & Buildings. I found it a shame how overlooked they went last year in the Collaborator's best albums of the year thread. They deserved a much higher position than they received (it was either really low or just an honorable mention - I can't quite remember). I'm glad you found them!
Edit: I just looked and they were actually tied for 11th with Marillion (which is a joke to me...). Not that bad. The album is #7 on the site for 2008 though which is pretty cool. Edited by Kestrel - July 08 2009 at 20:42 |

Ever since I heard Cerebus Effect's Acts of Deception, I've been hooked on Dan Britton's music and bands (Those being Deluge Grander and B&B).
Fantastic, energetic music, varied and eclectic, you get a mixture from various styles and sounds. Looking forward to the new B&B to be released later this year hopefully. Also, to the thread-opener, here's a bit of news I posted a while back here: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=56549&KW=britton "The second Deluge Grander album "The Form of the Good" is at the printers and will hopefully be available by mid-April. Samples from it can be heard on the Myspace page http://www.myspace.com/ Work has began on the third Deluge Grander album already and this one might be a vinyl-only release at first. As for the other Dan Britton projects which will hopefully be released in 2009, Dan emailed me that the second album of Birds and Buildings is in the works, following the previous albums' style ("avant/jazz prog with busy drums and sax") and probably called "Multipurpose Trap". www.myspace.com/birdsandbuildings Another project with Megan Wheatley singing is called All Over Everywhere and is a song-based album called "Inner Firmaments Decay." "This will be quieter acoustic-based songs" as Dan says.. Another project called (probably) Elevator Machine Room along with Chris Mack of Oblivion Sun and Illuvatar is also in the works. " |

Look into main man and keyboardist Dan Britton's other projects such as Deluge Grander and Cerebus Effect.While not quite the same stylistically as B&B,I think you will dig his other work.

I am loving this band! I'm listening to their album right now and it's incredible, it's mind-blowing. Where can I get more of this great sound?
It'd be cool if there was more discussion about this band too, although since they only have one album I can understand if there isn't a lot |
