Survival of the Species (Volume Two) has been a long time coming but I hope it’s worth the wait. The album has been through several forms as we made various attempts to get a good sound from the old recordings and make sure the reductions from vinyl and those from tape are of an even quality.

There are some great arrangements here, as intricate as Loris ever got with the Bristow influence pretty well to the fore. Micky and Martin were never tighter and Curtis’s vocals give full rein to his talents. At the same time, the songs are of typical Loris vintage, chordy, intricately structured and witty in the lyrical department. I’ve enjoyed putting this together and I’m confident you will enjoy listening.

To buy Volume Two or the other albums, go to the Buy Albums page where you will find some very reasonable terms. The CD symbols by the tracks indicate tracks that can be played or downloaded, but they’re only lo-fi -much better on CD!
