I have to say it tops "The fire swamp and the rodents of unusual size"

Track 3 is like that. Only sounds of Evelyn. No MK, no 'music'

[Dutchessy]

3 and 7 skippers, only sounds of Evelyn. All other tracks MK Acoustic guitar. I like it!

Also up on Spotify, first track sounds great indead

[Dutchessy]

1,2,8 and 10 are the best tracks i think.

One is very stunning, eight playing now is very nice too. I don't really get why they put Dream Of The Bison on the album, might work in the film but is to much 'noise'  to listen to. Track 7 (the other bison one) is better digestible, can relate that to the mood music on the Cal soundtrack. Overall, it's very nice. They kept it really simple, mainly guitar with some strings and a flute here and there which actually works quite well. The percussion by Evelyn really gives it a mystical atmosphere, very nice. Track 9 is playing now, the ending with flute and string reminds me of the Braveheart soundtrack a bit (A Gift of A Thistle, the piece is called I believe). Up to the great finale with Farewell to Altamira and off to bed!

Are those the same model of loose windy pants he and Clapton wore at Knebworth?

The two "Bison" songs are on the album because it´s where Evelyn Glennie did his best, if you see the video "Inside Altamira" where you can see MK and Evelyn working on the music, they are talking about that and how Evelyn worked hard to get from his percussion the sounds for the bisons...

You can hear the guitar riff from LAJADAS in "Maria". Listen carefully

You can hear the guitar riff from LAJADAS in "Maria". Listen carefully 

And the three first notes of "Altamira" are the same than in "Sons Of Scorland"

I guess there are some licks, notes, chords that always comes to his mind when working.
