Simone Silvestroni (Minutes to Midnight) Out this morning, been listening to it in a loop. Love the vibe, the sounds, and as a musician myself I love how often I cannot be 100% sure when is the bass and when is the guitar that's playing :) Favorite track: Breathing In.

about

This is what we recorded after Andy Edwards left the second Ley Lines session. We had half an hour or so left to record, so we took the opportunity to explore where we might end up as a duo. It was fitting, as the session started with a duo of Andy and Phi, with me arriving late - those tracks may well see the light of day at some point too!

The sessions with Andy were incredibly intense - even the most 'gentle' of the music we played has a gravity to it. Here, the storm of that session has passed and we're in the clear...

2 awesome bass players come together to play... the opposite of what you would expect of 2 bassists to play. Love it. All tracks are great, don't miss 1986. Avinoam Yagur
