    A really interesting project from BSP, works brilliantly as a soundtrack to the documentary of the same name. Listened to in isolation it loses its impact somewhat, which is something you would say of the majority of scores. The instrumental nature of the record and its flowing style makes it difficult to pick out favourite tracks. It really needs to be listened to as one whole. Fans willA really interesting project from BSP, works brilliantly as a soundtrack to the documentary of the same name. Listened to in isolation it loses its impact somewhat, which is something you would say of the majority of scores. The instrumental nature of the record and its flowing style makes it difficult to pick out favourite tracks. It really needs to be listened to as one whole. Fans will enjoy and will recognise snippets from the bands back catalogue thrown in along the way but this is something different to anything the band have done before. Probably just what they needed to do at this stage in their careers. Well worth checking out, especially as an accompaniment to the documentary.… Expand

    A joy in itself, but watching the accompanying film to experience the full audio-visual wallop is a must. [Feb 2014, p.113]

    BSP's sifts from poignant viola and tranquil vocals to foaming turbulence are perfect. [Jan 2014, p.104]

    Later songs Bear and Cleaning Out The Rooms are rewoven to even more emotional effect than in their previous guises, on the Zeus EP and Valhalla Dancehall long-player respectively.
