Based on a dream Bid had a couple of years ago, this ten-song cycle has a jaunty lilt to the rhythms that ebb and flow in thrall to hiss unfurling imagination.

It is wonderful to have this kind of diverse compilation available and would be great for current fans, as well as those people looking to dip their toe in.
