Virgin Passages - "Distance"

[Guest Steven Dedalus]

Has anyone else heard of this lot?

I remember being given their first album, "Mandalay" to review, and not thinking very much of it (pleasant, but dull), but their new release, "Distance" is incredible.

It reminds me of the sort of stuff Constellation used to put out years ago, back when they still thought that 'songs' and 'music' were important.

The whole thing seems to have been recorded live, with vocal overdubs or something, and is just magical.

I'm not sure if it's released yet, but definatley check it out.
