Judas Unrepentant keeps getting played on my iTunes Radio. It took a few listens before I realized how damn good that track is.

As well as the regular album this release contains two bonus tracks: “Victorian Brickwork” from “The Underfall Yard;” “Kingmaker” featuring new keyboard parts from Andy Tillison which were recorded especially for this release.

If you’re not familiar with the album then I urge you to give it a try. For a wealth of background information about the songs themselves, please check out these links …

… and to pre-order the album from midnight on 6 November, visit www.planegroovy.com

We expect to receive delivery of the album in mid-December.


Just ordered this today on vinyl. Can't wait to hear it !!!! Cool

Put my review up earlier today but to summarise: daaaaamn, this is a real eye-opener. Their previous stuff hadn't been to my taste but this one is seriously classy.

The Underfall Yard is so damned good, it is one of those albums which ensures you will buy every single one that comes afterwards.

Come September 3rd, this will be on the purchase list.

I'm eagerly waiting for it. and you are quite right in saying that; since Underfall Yard I've been following these guys and I've bought Far Skies, Deep Time in no time (and I love it!). English Electric will definitely be in my collection in no time.

This is a really good single, but i encourage you to buy The Difference Machine if you prefer epics or Far Skies, Deep Time if you want more shorter songs, but it comes with an amazing closing epic too.

Indeed. I love this band!

The shirts are quite disappointing though.

Dude, what would an over-sized Yeti know about art???Wink

I agree with Horizons, poor album art. They should take a page from The Flower Kings and go a bit more
classy.  All that vague modern art crap is better suited for wandering avant-guard bands, whose music goes
nowhere, now that I think of it...

Big Big Train should check out the new RUSH or YES records for some inspiration for album art.

Not their best cover, though. I this must have something to do with the concept, otherwise i'll be terribly disappointed (with the cover).
