Inspired by the directness & hugely emotional content of David Hockney's art, John Harle's score to Hockney is equally direct & engaging.

From a quirky, almost Jaques Tati-esque banjo theme to the exotica of Los Angeles & the jazz basements of 1960's London, this album never fails to entertain & surprise. Guitarist John Parricelli, pianist Steve Lodder & percussionist Hugh Wilkinson (all of whom featured in Harle's The Tyburn Tree project with Marc Almond) are fluid & inspired soloists, duetting alongside Harle's own trademark saxophone sound.
