Eleventh Earl of Blah BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

NewMusicLover Who wouldn't? An epic long play that has a haunting and melodic ebb and flow which slowly tugs from the soul and mind a longing for peace.

MALCOLM CLARKE This year I finally got to see BBT in Birmingham and enjoyed every minute of their musical excellence. This song cycle is pure genius.
