entering pastures new on his 8th album, ed strips things back to a fully instrumental set orbiting overwhelmingly emotive and articulate piano, with string and synth embellishments used sparingly at the perfect moments – few albums equal its vivid beauty out of such simplicity.

Something of a left-turn after its busy, big-screen predecessor, it sees the supremely versatile instrumentalist create a soft-spoken yet emotionally loquacious group of piano-led instrumentals, as if sound-tracking an as yet invisible film with a mesmerising, meditative calm. “I grew up listening to and playing Debussy, Satie, Mozart, Grieg, as well as modern composers like Max Richter, Philip Glass, Arvo Part. I also loved Warren Ellis (with whom Harcourt worked on Marianne Faithfull’s album, ‘negative capacity’)”. “former mercury nominee switches ‘furnaces’’ fury for meditative, recuperative serenity” 8/10 – uncut.
