Listening to this now. It's nice - like morning vacation music. Reminds me a bit of All India Radio's vibe.

Well, "members of Talk Talk, etc" lacking Hollis has a similar weight as "a new movie from one of the Executive Producers of...", so hearing it more in RIYL vein, works for me.

Also worthy of mention, a biography of Hollis is coming out in the next couple of months. Somebody Wardle?

the Held By Trees album is really good (though the last track definitely gets guitar wanky in a more Dire Straits/Floyd way than some might like).
