    It's the natural progression from Hidden I guess. It lacks the raw edge of songs like Attack Music or Fire-Power, but still a very enjoyable listen; I like the way these guys are going!

    So funny how the charts reflect the times people gave up listening to the record. The ones who reached the end have been rewarded, though - I love those final two tracks.

    Field of Reeds is my first TNP-record and definitely not my last. It's brilliant.

    Organ Eternal sounds sooooo Dead Can Dance! I like it a lot ...but till now I'm a bit disappointed by this new album. It does sound like Hidden, and it's ok. But some songs seem just plain experimental.

    it's not what i've really expected after hearing Fragment Two... thought: it definitely takes a few steps beyond Fragment Two. it reminds me of björk & sigur ros a bit. and i remember Hidden worked for me really a year after it's release, so: let's wait and listen..... ;) the only thing i can tell now: it's an ambitious piece of work, and they are really insane, in a good sense!!! i enjoy it.

    I feel like Fragment Two lured me into another world, and now I am left on my own there. So beautiful and so foreign - but I am beginning to understand it. And yes, they are insane (or at least Jack is).

    They are completely insane. Field of Reeds is album of the year.

    idky i'm so disappointed sophie's out of the band, i'm not even sure how much she was contributing. in any case the new song is pretty amazing, field of reeds is one of the only summer releases i'm *really* looking forward to. always wondered why hidden didn't get more press back in 2010, it was so singular and memorable. tho didn't like, the NME pick it as their album of the year? big lols
