about

Two internal monologues: one of the men aboard the Enola Gay on its mission to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and, then, someone on the ground afterwards trying to find their family in the wreckage of what was their home.

lyrics

It's cold in here waiting for sunrise to come
We hate them in here, burn every one to the ground.
I put it to you - I put it to you one last time.

Examine the plan, if the bomb bay doors open this time
And the world turns to blue, falling from nightmare to life.
I touch all I see - a scream from the roof of the world.

The sky turns to black, darkness all around,
The ashes fall like snow.
No-one will survive, no-one counts the cost,
The ashes fall like snow.

Will you forgive me?
Forgive me for living.

The rain comes down, heavy and blackened like oil
The poison seeps in, twisting and winding inside.
I can't touch her skin, burning like colours of hell
It's cold in here - since you left me all alone.

The sky turns black, try to find home,
The ashes fall like snow.
You crawl through the ruins, twisting the plot.
The ashes fall like snow.

Will you forgive me?
Forgive me for living.

When you like your prog to be more beautiful and/or accessible than prog-proggy, than this is for you! Melodic as hell and yes, Peter Falconer is quite a singer! That wouldn't go half the way without the solid songs of Pat Sanders. A great combination of skills ;-) Carsten Pieper

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...

Fantasy progressive rock is not something I'd ever thought of. Yet Foreign Land, especially the Foreign Land track itself, transported me straight into an unknown, magical fantasy world. Hakim Zulkufli
