about

Inspired by the many, many wuxia and kung fu films I watched earlier this year while my dad was dying, and a quote I saw online along the lines of "if you want it back, you're dragging its corpse behind you," and by many other things besides; the title taken from T.S. Eliot:

"Men learn little from others' experience.
But in the life of one man, never
The same time returns. Sever
The cord, shed the scale. Only
The fool, fixed in his folly, may think
He can turn the wheel on which he turns."

This album is just great. The sounds are bright and airy, old-school and fun! I keep coming back to it. It reminds me of the good feeling I get when I listen to Madelyn Merkey's Puzzle Music. Douglas Murray
