We've finished recording our new EP and will shortly be back in the studio to mix and master it. The plan at the moment is to release Far Skies Deep Time in late October. There will be no pre-order campaign and initially it will only be available to those who are on our mailing list (if you've bought a CD directly from us in the past and haven't changed your email address recently, then you will feature on that list.) The Far Skies EP is generously proportioned (about 41 minutes of music) and features the following track listing: Master of Time Fat Billy Shouts Mine British Racing Green Brambling The Wide Open Sea Master of Time is a cover of an Anthony Phillips song. Anthony and Mike Rutherford had originally planned to record Master of Time for inclusion on one of our favourite albums, The Geese and the Ghost, but ran out of time during the album sessions. A demo of the song appeared on the http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3LmFtYXpvbi5jby51ay9HZWVzZS1HaG9zdC1SZW1hc3RlcmVkLUV4cGFuZGVkLTJDRC9kcC9CMDAxNDQxVkpBL3JlZj1zcl8xXzE/aWU9VVRGOCZzPW11c2ljJnFpZD0xMjgwOTU2MDE2JnNyPTgtMQ== - recent re-issue of The Geese and the Ghost . We thought it was a beautiful song which deserved a full band treatment and so decided to record our first ever cover. Ant has heard the BBT version of Master of Time and has given us his blessing and we do hope that we've done the song full justice. Fat Billy Shouts Mine was originally part of a suite of music for The Underfall Yard album. We didn't get chance to finish recording the song in time for the album and so are pleased to be able to release it as part of the Far Skies EP. British Racing Green and Brambling feature a lot of music within concise arrangements. We are very proud of these two songs which both tell the story of doomed relationships. The EP concludes with the 17 minute The Wide Open Sea. This is a very different epic for us, very unlike our previous songs of this sort of length. It tells the story of http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vZW4ud2lraXBlZGlhLm9yZy93aWtpL0phY3F1ZXNfQnJlbA== - Jacques Brel and is, I think, one of the best things we've ever done. The Big Big Train line-up on Far Skies is: Andy Poole Dave Gregory David Longdon Greg Spawton Nick D'Virgilio and the EP also features Danny Manners on double bass, Jon Barry on guitar and Martin Orford on keyboards.

After Yard, I'm really looking forward new releases.

Hey, 41 minutes is an EP? Not that I'm complaining or anything.  I put in a big big order after I first heard them on this site late December, so I'm on the list.  ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
