ENGLISH ELECTRIC (PART ONE)

There is much to say abut this album that mere words cannot convey the beauty of its sound or structure. You'll be hard pressed finding one wasted minute on BBT's latest album. At the start of the first play a couple of weeks ago I had favourites but after countless listens its hard to choose any one track over the other. From 'The First Rebreather' through to ' Hedgerow' they all stand out like albums such as 'Close To The Edge' or 'Trick Of The Tail'. I've got to hear a lot of good Prog this year but Big Big Train's English Electric (Part One) is my firm favourite for 2012.
