I definitely have to turn the volume up when I put it on, but also the sound is muddy most noticeable on the drums.
That said I still love how the horns are mixed with everything else, great sounding band. |

Can't say I've noticed muddy sound, it's certainly a lot quieter than most cd's released these days. My understanding is Bob Drake mastered it that way to avoid the current style of loudness wars. Once I turn it up it's fine.

I love the new album, it's a huge step forward from Clairvoyant Fortnight. They've got a real 8 piece band sound that Kavus has obviously written to exploit. It's pretty much been on permanent rotation in my car since I got it, it's wonderful driving music (along with the latest Chrome Hoof who share a couple of band members). It's got grooves, hooks, riffs & loads of ideas. I don't often write reviews but I couldn't bear looking at that 2.5 rating for another day. It may end up as album of the year for me, it's certainly going to be top 5. Edited by Nogbad_The_Bad - August 17 2014 at 08:38 |

Ok so the new album is out already and I've been giving it a few spins every day, it's outstanding!! Oh yes it is!!
I must admit I wasn't sure how this album would turn out because their previous EP Clairvoyant Fortnight was just ok imo. But I did believe and got The Unravelling right away. So until recently the album suffered from a very low rating (about 2.5) and one very negative review . I'm not sure why but I must disagree, so are you guys as excited as I am? (I know Nogbad is ) |

Yeah, I just don't get why Knifeworld continue to be such an under-the-radar thing, especially round these parts. The most plausible explanation I can think of is that it's because they're as unafraid of a catchy pop hook as they are a Henry Cow-eseque jumble of horns and keys. The result is that they're simultaneously too poppy for the avant-prog fans and too avant-prog for the rest.
Whatever the reason, it's a shame, as for my money they're the absolute finest active UK prog band. They deserve a bucketload more recognition than they get.
Maybe album no. 2 will help to rectify that... |

Woooooohhhhhh!!!!! Thanks for the info David, this is excellent news. Just listened to it once, but I don't want to try it again, I'll save it for the album. I didn't know what to make of it in the first couple minutes but of course that ending has definitely won me over.
I'm so glad there's a thread about them cause they certainly don't get any attention, I can't get more frustrated when such a talented, creative and unique band is so overlooked while other bands recycle their own material for years and gets hundreds of reviews . So write more reviews guys! Yes Ori I mean you |

Hello PA. Long time no post n' all that.
Knifeworld have released a new song from their forthcoming album - all proceeds from downloads are going towards the completion of said album. It is a f**king juggernaut of a tune. |

I just gave Clairvoyant Fortnight another spin and it lit me up.
