Favorite track: Hay-Man.

Dogger Dog While Unreasonable Silence left me wanting, Robin comes back with a one-two punch of 70s-era prog that fully redeems any previous missteps. And for the first time it isn't so much the instrumentation that stands out, as great as it is, but the singing and lyrics. Nice job, Robin. Keep it up! This is the stuff we love about you. Favorite track: Melancholy Death Of A Gamekeeper.

about

A retrospective album in both theme and style, Robin Armstrong’s 6th album harks back to the sound and feel of the classic prog era fused with the raw energy and darkness of a rock behemoth. The 6 track album is measured at a single LP length and instrumentally delivers the
vintage sound of guitar, bass and drums with a sprinkling of classic keyboards.
The theme presents as a mythical tale of a farm labourer meeting an early death, and leaving a loving wife and young family. His widow builds a scarecrow effigy as a shrine to her loss, and this ‘Hay-Man’ spends his weather beaten days in eternity, dreaming beyond his field.

Track Listing:
1. Tethered And Bound
2. Trouble In The Forest
3. The Motorway
4. Cut The Corn
5. Melancholy Death Of A Gamekeeper
