…. Moving on from my folk and country odyssey!! I’ve been interested in Robert Reed’s new release, Cursus 123 430 for a while now but there are very few clips available to listen to anywhere so I have bought and downloaded the digital version. Not my favourite format but what can you do? The postal service is even less reliable than usual which is not reliable at all, so it’s not worth buying anything that has to come from outside of the country right now – it would be a miracle if it arrived.
This comes with no frills whatsoever, not even a track listing, or segment listing which I can see in other places. I did, however, get the cover artwork. There’s a symphonic poem attached to the whole thing (which is a concept by Les Penning who also wrote it and narrates it where there is voice), but that doesn’t seem to be included in the download for some reason?? Not sure how I feel about this digital malarky – would far rather have a physical copy, but oh well … needs must! Here’s the symphonic poem (or some of it) which I don’t have - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA_nJm_O8I4, and this is the only segment from what I do have that I can find on YouTube ...
