Bristol Byzantine (Pt. 2) 1:51 Release Notes: 'Altitude' is the group’s first full-length studio album since 1995’s Rough Music, and their first major label release since 1991’s Beat Songs. "And what of the new songs? Langley covers, among other things; an obscure form of West Country architecture (‘Bristol Byzantine’), the chemical which replicates the smell of new mown grass (‘Hexanal’), and the death of River Phoenix (‘Beautiful Is As Beautiful Does’.) The musical wrappings range from high decibel rock outs like ‘Up In A Down World’ to the breathy acoustic reverie, ‘Multinational’ and the folky chamber pop of ‘Tree Full Of Starlings’" Release Date: 20th March, 2006.
