I sing electric to the sky
I sing to the orbs in the heavens
I move outwards to the stars like dust
There is more than can be imagined
Beyond, within we see
Many worlds in many galaxies
In many interstellar seas
Beyond, within, we are but one
Look out, look up, we all see the sun
I sing the light years passing by
I sing to the edge of all that can be known
We give we take we all are stardust
We make the journey without moving, moving
Countless stars give endless light
And here are we awakening from night
Beyond, within, we are but one
Look out, look up, we all see the sun
And what does dwell within me
And how does my song come to be
Am I the final meaning
A cosmos self-contained
In infinite creation
Is there a small infinity
A micro-cosmic universe
That sings out to the next
And if we listen to our hearts
The sound the color
Who do we hear
Is it greater are we smaller
We are on the boundary
Of one miracle to another
The vastness of the heavens
And the vastness contained within
Worlds orbit overhead
As we circle one another
And I can see you
I can know you
I can hear you
And who does dwell within me
And who does my song call out to
Who looks into my dreaming
And makes my visions whole
In infinite creation
So many small infinities
Each singing out their own song
Each one a soul to rise up and take flight

What can I say about Big Big Train that I haven’t said before?
This album took a little while to grow on me but by the time I saw it live I was in love with its humongous, over-egged pomposity! They do it all with such passion, excitement and amazing musicianship.

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper
The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations. Bandcamp Album of the Day May 12, 2022

The album takes off nicely with David Longdon's "The Strangest Times", but then gets into immediate free fall and deeply underwater for the next few tracks, quite unexpectedly. Fortunately, it recovers with Nick D'Virgilio's "Apollo" (hey, this guy CAN write good music, although he hides this ability most of the time) and the remaining three tracks, one of which is another Longdon masterpiece. So in the end the final impression is somewhat in the positive range. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
