about
Featuring the wonderful Pauline Murray on backing vocals
A similar message to 'We are storm'
Prob about universe re-boot and how small we are
A warning really, probably in retrospect similar warning to 5 leaves left by Nick Drake without realising
lyrics
Big Sky New Light
Big sky new light, following dream time
We are leaving down time, we are reaching dreamtime
Attitude is uncool, dark clouds bring dark fools
Break free from down time, Big sky new light
Big sky, we need a cut that just can't change it's shape
Big sky new time, or in the ghost we'll just get blown away

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.

Well gosh, Boo. That really is an album!
The first time through was wonder and delight. Now it’s just a matter of installing it into my DNA. And so repeat play is engaged. You’ve done it again! warren wigutow
