about

Part IV of Swans Dance, Roses Bloom Like Mad suite

lyrics

There’s a man in a kilt singing out
Hearing what we were talking about
So I asked him what he shouted
All he said was “Welcome unexpected!”
Two of us both leave loneliness
But another precious thing seemed to follow it
‘Don’t you need bagpipes?’ softly I asked
“Life is jazz,” gently he returned

“In ancient time, there an old marshal reign
Versed in tactics of tradition and brain
His army’d won for so long years － not lost!
They’d got gold prize － always at all cost
But he was ignorant of how young men fight
Once brown-eyed men came in the night
They had other armor and swords
So he and his men’s blood ran as roads”
“Can you see this epic’s lesson?” he asked
Young ways killed old ones but the old killed the young
“So if I kept having that old bagpipe
That will kill me, Improvise your life”

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper

Thanks to the nice-endof-year-offer I came to fill this gap in my private worm collection (a, pardon me, worm hole, so to speak :-)) Wonderful reminiscence to many good things past (Canterbury, 70s prog, folk rock) with a good sense of humour and great ideas (both in the songwriting & in the arrangements) .
