Lovely piece of music. The piano in the first half sounds gorgeous - how did you get hold of that unreleased Erik Satie recording?

You turn around the mood on this so subtly yet so effectively. I doff my imaginary cap, sir

Thanks to all who have a listen.

Really love that piano at the start. It reminds me of the treated piano sounds that David Sylvian and Holger czukay (?) use on Davids solo albums like " brilliant trees ", " plight and premonition " etc.... I really agree with how it sounds like a grey day in November. It's full of a brooding kind of reflection.
I really like the unusual chords and the juxtaposed discordant beats.....always a great contrast in mix-terms as they accentuate / augment each other. Lovin' the little jazz guitar drops as well. Those parts remind me of Sylvians' "taking the veil".
Just out of interest , are you a fan of David Sylvian / Japan ?
Great work Poly.....as Always !! You can do no wrong mate =)

Thank you 2M!

I don't really know Sylvian, but many people have mentioned him to me over the last few years, so I've decided to pick some up... hopefully tonight.

Thanks for the push.

Weird indeed... I'm popping over to iTunes now (yeah, I know... I don't even know where to shop for CDs any more) to rectify the situation.

A Victim of Stars is now locked and loaded... seemed a good overview to start with.

That looks like a good compilation. I hope you enjoy it.
