I pre-ordered this album from Burning Shed(a great record source) as I was rather taken with the cover and that Peter Hamill is on it (ex Van De Graff Generator). I have to say this is one of those albums that just grabs you from the first few bars, it verges on Pink Floyd scale, with soaring guitar solos, and lovely moog/synth lines, some aspects of the tracks are etherial in feel with an obvious orchestrated bent. Probably one of the best Prog/Psychedelic Rock albums I have purchased in many years, stunning IMO. The Amorphous Androgynous* & Peter Hammill – We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal Label: fsoldigital.com – LP TOT 79 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album Country: UK Released: 20 Nov 2020 Genre: Electronic, Rock, Blues Style: Psychedelic Rock, Prog Rock, Space Rock Waiting until I can sample it before taking the plunge as I have had mixed experiences of favourite artists working together - often bad

So I am back in Shpongleland for a deep and meaningful listen and experience, the more I listen to them the better it gets, the rhythms, variations, mixing and production are just great, there are so many layers to hear. I think I am becoming a fan! Shpongle – Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost Label: Twisted Records – TWSLP28RM Format: 2 × Vinyl, LP, Album, Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered Country: UK

If like to think my lobbying and tweeting @ them finally paid off😂 Anyway, great addition to the 44.1KHz 16bit offering. Listening to Touch me I'm going to scream part2. Never sounded so good👍

Having fallen for the Amorphous Androgynous most recent album "We Persuade Ourselves We Are Immortal“ I did some reading up on them and found out that “ The Isness” their second release is highly regarded and has been re-released in limited numbers. Original The Isness (Abbey Road Version) vinyl had an edition of 1750 copies: The Amorphous Androgynous* - The Isness (The Abbey Road Version) - 1000 machine-numbered 180g vinyl limited edition sold at RSD 2018. The Amorphous Androgynous* - The Isness (The Abbey Road Version) - 750 unnumbered standard vinyl edition. I purchased the last one released, brand new, at a very good price and it is extremely good IMO. A photo of the reviews on the album sticker is below as well, The Independents description is a good one, but is places it has Shpongle overtones IMO.
