Two False Idols

From the pastoral majesty of Great Divide, and the "Mexicana"-flavoured Captain Caper, to the prog epic Golden Band, Two False Idols sounds exactly like what it is: someone revelling in the creative freedom that only comes from not caring what you think others want and delivering what you feel instead.. Includes bonus DTS 5.1 surround version.

Tunisia is the realisation of the necessarily independent approach to writing and recording this sort of thing - music to please the maker (one 28-year old Ben Craven), leaving it to faith that it would find its audience, dispensing entirely with the band approach. The result is an album of incredible maturity from one so young and for a debut as well. Influences range from obvious stalwarts like Pink Floyd, Brian Wilson and Sheryl Crow, to the likes of Bernard Herrmann, John Barry and George Gershwin. Not to mention some less-fashionable progressive rock hipsters. So we won't.
