Genre: Prog rock
Places I remember: FOPP (London)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Swan Hunter
Gear costume: Folklore
Active compensatory factors: I have a soft spot for Big Big Train. Their blend of folk, rock, with prog tendencies is right down my musical alley (boy).
The vaguely Gabriel-esque vocals by David Longdon (visually, the least likely rock star on the planet) are excellent and there are enough musical subtleties going on via Rachel Hall's input to provide BBT with their own tasteful, unique sound.
This is a double live (I love double live's as you know) and the band use the best of their recent performances at the Cadogan Hall (London) for a wide ranging setting out of their impressive stall.
Where do they all belong? It's very English and so BBT suits my present circumstances perfectly. It was on high rotate in the Purdmobile as we explored Hampshire recently!
