A bucket list item for me, getting this record pressed. 180 gram vinyl with a cool home-printed lyric sheet. NOT shrink-wrapped, because single use plastic is dumb. They'll ship in a clear slip cover like you'd find in the record store.
Includes unlimited streaming of John Depew
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
I saw a great blue heron circling in a deep blue sky
Circling around, circling around, circling around
I could run these woods like a spirit that’s never been found
Circling around, circling around, sink into the cold red ground
I turned and wandered downstream, head held high on a slender neck
Waiting for a sign, waiting for a sign, waiting for a sign
Two big snapping turtles lay in the middle of the creek in a shallow spot
I am not alone, I am not alone, life just keeps on moving
I stand with one foot on dry land
I know you’ve seen me here before
Step down the bank, stretch out a hand
And we’ll walk together for a while

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser.
Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this.
Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?).
With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6
