Elusive
I’m just above the surface of
Melding
Into the reflections of
This memory
Elusive
I’m just above the surface of
Unravelling a
Synthetic environment
That slips through my hands
Beneath the surface of these whirlpools
I can see you in their patterns
I can hear all your reflections
Scattered fragments of the past
Shattering like molten glass
Water lilies grow on my skin
As I am becoming
Scattered fragments of the past
Shattering like molten glass
Water lilies grow on my skin
As I am becoming.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
