about
I honestly don't remember exactly when I wrote this instrumental tune, but it came into shape with the band sometime soon after the release of “Moon in Grenadine.” I believe this was one of the early performances of the piece and I don't know if we again found the group vibe and spontaneity that we had that night. I had high hopes to release a studio version of this along with 2 more movements as a suite: “Grit to the Wire”. It was to be the centerpiece of “Four Walls Bending” but as that album took form, I knew I couldn't put a fifteen minute instrumental break in the middle of it. It would have shattered the cohesiveness of the record and so I decided to abort and didn't mix the 2 tracks we had recorded during the FWB sessions.
A reel of 2-inch analog tape has followed me around from CA to France and back, and someday I may bake it and recover the tracks (it endured the massive summer 2003 heatwave in the south of France !) The 3rd movement, “Blinkers Off,” has never been performed live or released.

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis.

Joyous and exploratory. It's what makes Sanguine Hum tick. Or hum. Quite.

Ah, why didn't I buy this earlier? Has been on my wishlist since it's release and Bad Elephant Music's sampler and ongoing sales campaign luckily triggered the buy. Tags given are post-progressive and post-rock, but the music feels much lighter than I usually associate with those tags. Quite song-oriented, indeed. Great music, great vocals.

got recc'd this on youtube and loved it- reminds me a lot of late 60's and early 70's records i used to hear playing out of my parents' stereo on sweltering summer days.
