Since I first heard Chris Coco’s album ‘Indigo’ in April it’s been one of my most played pieces of the year. It’s a real ambient gem, filled with deep listening, languid, cinematic and (dare I say it?) spiritual music. Have a listen with the links below, then get over to his Bandcamp to get you own copy. The spin off releases; ‘Slow Motion Saturday‘ and ‘Music for Relaxation‘ are similarly gorgeous. Personal favourite, the eno-esque lullaby ‘Event Horizon – Out’ it’s just sublime…

Captain Sensible – Glad its all over

Posted on April 6, 2019 by Matt Nearest-Faraway

Submarines in the harbour
Incognito
Submarines of your dreams
Not mine
The red red sky
Must take the price
For giving to the people
Who never never go to war

We’re glad it’s all over
We’re glad it’s all over
We’re glad it’s all over
We’re glad it’s all over

Hidden tunnels
Secret items
Guarded fences
Planet Earth
Testing ground
Right now
The blue blue moon
Knows that soon
We’ll be searching for the people
Who never never went to war

We’re glad it’s all over
We’re glad it’s all over
