www.littleuniversemusic.co.uk Simply Better Music The more I listen to this album the better it gets, it's just pure class all the way through. It just hits the spot with so many attributes to various genres despite the "Floydian" influence, it holds together very well indeed. If you like your rock with a conceptual feel to it
then you're in for an absolute treat. Steve's vocals provide the story in his own unique style while Martin provides much of the atmosphere and the two combined skill sets just launch this into classic territory. 10/10 Favorite track: Persephone.

sdelavaux I love this album! It required repeated listens for me to truly appreciate the consistency, nuisances, and variety of instruments. Love how the album interweaves straightforward rock to psychedelia to ambient. I'm still trying to figure out (or create my own) the story buy that's half the fun! Favorite track: Jesus Warehouse & Judas Smith.

about

Persephone Nimbus was just an ordinary woman living an ordinary life, with a promising job at Eternity Incorporated.

Until one day she was kidnapped by the Plutocracy.

There she reigned for 6 months of the year, a sad cold queen of the dark webbed world …

But for 6 months of the year she was allowed to ascend to the Overworld with its marvellous technological illusions. And it’s towers that pierced the very sky …

But on the first day of every autumn she must take the long staircase back down, down into the Plutocracy, with their frozen lakes and above them, a sky of iron.

Eternal

How is it that All India Radio can produce so many albums so frequently and never lose steam? It's truly an inspiration. With groovy synths, atmospheric walls of sound, and delightfully hammy voice samples, the album blasts us back to the classic age of science fiction, proving that the genre is eternal. resaurus
