“Like all things associated with British Sea Power, the idea of reworking their compositions with orchestral support from traditional brass bands may at first seem entirely implausible. Nobody but BSP could have come up with it, let alone thought it was a viable proposition.
Where lesser bands could have been accused of gimmicky marketing, BSP manage the impossible simply because there is nothing contrived or gimmicky about them. More than a dozen years into their own wayward history they remain the standard-bearer of experimental creative forces that leap far beyond the horizons of safe choices and familiar sounds.”
