"Whatever reality tunnel we organize our perceptions into is not the world.. science can only answer questions like; 'how does it register on this instrument and how does it register on that instrument?' To ask what light really is, is basically a meaningless question, science can't answer that.. How many different signals are coming in that you usually don't notice? You either imprint what I call an infophile tenancy in varying degrees, which means the world is a safe place and you keep on exploring more and more, Or you imprint an infophobic reflex in which the world seems like a sinister and threatening place."

about

This album's theme is that of ascending as a waveform at death, the theme was conceived before such happenings of this year occurred.
This album is therefore dedicated to the memory of my dear friend, enthusiastic fan & fellow music lover, Clive Dee, an authentic poet, wonderful father, and beautiful human, Clive will forever reside in our hearts. His quiet, yet well measured demur and gentle humour will long stay with me.
~~~~~~~~
Clive Dee
3rd May 1961 - 11th July 2016
~~~~~~~~
In April Clive sent a message after hearing 'Shorley Knot' stating "Seems meet and right to be listening to this on a ward a hundred yards away from Worcester Royal Hospital in the early hours. Were the choir singing Allegri's Miserere?. Nice one anyway."
Clive was referring to the cut up Chamberlain sample featured on this track, which is the piece he refers to, albeit slightly reworked.

Comprised of: various field recordings, regurgitated studio tracks of Becky Rose's beautiful vocal, synths sampled as early as 2003, David Headon's samples of drills, hammers and chisels, Ed Steelefox's cymbal and hi-hat, a broken jack lead, and various other devices, lowfi choral sections, synths, a childs glockenspiel + Toy Piano, Chamberlain, and... mellotrons. You gotta have some mellotron!
