http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04gk565 - Couple of thoughts on this because I, sadly, won't be able to post a review for it.



So these guys just played that 40 minute set with a 70-strong orchestra backing them up. It was interesting as to how they let their classical influences really flourish by

ditching all synths in favour for more acoustic sounds. This actually had a phenomenal effect on some of the songs from the album. Surprisingly, mediocre songs all of a

sudden became lively, ecstatic and sometimes even beautiful to make a very solid set in the end. Will be *praying* for an official release



Personal highlights: Telephone, UK Shanty, Outro Movement.
