This is the debut album by Jack Wyllie, JQ and Richard Pike under Forgiveness (the former of which may be noted for their mercury-nominated work under Portico Quartet). With two singles released earlier this year 'Rainbird' and 'Mushroom Umbrella', being whimsical, Japanese-influenced pieces of new age, jazz and electronic instrumentals. The compositions are natural, light and spacious, with 'Rainbird' being a culmination of John Surman's 'Edges of Illusion' and Hiroshi Yoshimura's 'FEEL', both of which listed in the group's inspiration playlist 'Communiques from the Ocean Floor' which spans over eight hours. The beauty of the collaborative project is how it blends from the natural to the synthetic seamlessly, like on title track 'Next Time Could be Your Last Time' where flute passages give way to frantic synth patches that wouldn't feel out of place in a Royksopp song. It's the perfect blend of 3 incredibly talented artists.
