tim bowness / samuel smiles - world of bright futures

Unavailable since 2000, 'World Of Bright Futures', Tim Bowness's 1999 album with Samuel Smiles (Mike Bearpark, Peter Chilvers, Myke Clifford) is now available as an exclusive Burning Shed download.

Taking its cue from the timeless and sensuous late night ambience of John Martyn, Arab Strap and the Blue Nile, and occasionally drawing on the darker, more parched terrain of Peter Hammill and Mark Eitzel, the album offers eight original compositions and two cover versions (Peter Hammill's 'Ophelia' and King Crimson's 'Two Hands').

Featuring Alias Grace vocalist Sandra O'Neill, guitarist Tony Harn, and Porcupine Tree's Colin Edwin and Steven Wilson (who appear on 'Watching Over Me'), World of Bright Futures smoulders in a twilight reverie of cheap drum machines and high emotions, digital hardware and human heartache.
