Slow Sand

Launching a late-era surprise attack with the towering The Art of Survival, Bush haven't sounded so vital and hungry since their 1990s heyday.

The traditional family of hand percussion instruments is generally defined as an open shell frame drum with large cymbals or jingles. They are similar in appearance and origin to a very large tambourine, but rather than simply being an accompaniment or backing instrument, the Rik family of drums can often take a lead or solo role.

This album is inspired by TV series and films. An inspiration source that is as big as Books and Legends and Tales to me. So in affect this is the 4th in the series of inspirational CD's. Because of the nature of the inspiration, all music has a Filmmusic feel to it!

Neil Young is rightly regarded as one of the most influential singer-songwriters, ranking with Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney in influence and prolificacy. And much like the other two, he has amassed an extensive archive of unpublished and unreleased songs which he’s begun to touch with his massive Archive series of box sets. Road Of Plenty is perhaps the most ambitious unofficial Neil Young release in recent memory. It is a comprehensive six disc collection of songs which have never been released (and probably never will). A majority are sourced from excellent live audience recordings (since that is the only source we have for them), but there are other excellent quality studio outtakes included as well.

Bush hasn't sounded so vital and hungry since their '90s heyday, launching a late-era surprise attack with the towering Art of Survival. The polar opposite of 2017's Black and White Rainbows, Survival builds upon 2020's course-correcting The Kingdom and leaves it in the dust. Their best post-hiatus offering to date, the aggressive set finds frontman Gavin Rossdale and bandmates – Chris Traynor, Corey Britz, and Nik Hughes – firing on full throttle with what might end up being Bush's heaviest album ever.
