As the album progresses it becomes centred around the human voices which give this work much of its special character. In reflection of restraint, interestingly, James, who is a virtuoso saxophonist, is very sparing with his solos, giving them a different kind of impact. On alto and tenor, they are present most clearly towards the ends of 'Statues', 'Year of the Snake', 'Woken up by Dogs', and mid-way through 'Our Lungs'. Genre-wise, the album appears to occupy its own space, the strings possibly evoke 1970s leftfield BBC documentary soundtracks \\u2013 the other closest reference point might be the post-Henry Cow body of music, maybe News From Babel.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames Mainwaring is a saxophonist, composer and singer-songwriter based in Leeds.
