2. The Gown
3. Spin the Context
4. Stay Tuned
5. You Know
6. Big Mouth
7. The Diver
8. That's All
9. And Then
10. It Seems We Talk

  1. Well that's a coincidence; I inadvertently came across this album on a different blog yesterday whilst looking for a rare Porcupine Tree album (already liked Anja Garbarek but hadn't heard this album) and was surprised to find the link active as it had been uploaded sometime during 2012 - Yandex must never delete files! Anyhow it's a beautiful album...might become my fav A.G. release.

    Cheers D_S hope you're well
