You could be forgiven for thinking some of Belbury Poly's work was actually borrowed from early-90s RPG video game soundtracks, although the production is clearly based on much more than the limitations of chips and cartridges. Nevertheless, there's a real wholesome, back home on the ranch kind of ambience at play throughout much of what's here.
You might say folk moods built from Radiophonic Workshop and BBC library music parts, or something along those lines. Veering from the moody 'Copse', to 'Corner Of The Eye', a track that invokes a real sense of wonder and mystery, and 'Magpie Lane' with its take on psychedelia, despite stylistic variety there's consistency in the strength and lure of the melodies, not least the wonderfully plucked synth effects on the epic 'Sticks & Stones'.
