Blows the wind to-day, and the sun and the rain are flying,
Blows the wind on the moors to-day and now,
Where about the graves of the martyrs the whaups are crying,
My heart remembers how!—Robert Louis Stevenson, “To S. R. Crockett (In Reply to a Dedication)”

You see that I will have to rise
And turn round and get back where
My running age will slow for a moment
To let me on. It is a colder
Stretch of water than I remember.The curlew’s cry travelling still
Kills me fairly…—WS Graham, “Loch Thom”

New #review today: "Even if you’re familiar with Live in Berlin, the highly improvisational nature of #Curlew’s music ensures that this album will have something new for you. This is a very original sound that blends rock and jazz in a distinctive way. Catchy rhythms coalesce into a kind of warped funk..." #ExposeOnline #AvantRock #AvantJazz #AvantGarde #AvantProgressive http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/curlew-cbgb-nyc-ny-1987-taktlos-fextival-zurich-switzerland-2.html
