We've been working on this album since well before 'The Western Lands' was recorded, and feel that it encompasses some of our finest live and studio work. SLT stalwart James Kirk has provided the stunning cover paintings and the album has been constructed especially to fit nicely on to four sides of delectable vinyl. 'New Botany' is a heavily atmospheric drone epic, with forays into modern classical, free jazz and musique concréte. It's a deep-listening experience that rewards repeated visits and nocturnal exploration.
