Your charred fingers reach forth to fondle the crackling volume on your vintage stereo. A BANG, whiplash? Was that a power surge? ...or are you ON A DISTANT PLANET. A Jam Bandwich in hand, an essential and hearty snack. You are now listening to 'Just Landed', recorded in just 48 hours and improvised from start to finish in the Totnes studio of 'Matthew & Me'.

Order restored, you could almost be at home! Surely, you’ve always had been riding this mystical bass beast through the liquid oceans of melody? This strange world is not so unlike your own... the stars from this place, in this universe, the waves, the creatures. Relax, eye’s heavy...

Let music wind it’s way through the labyrinth of your conscience... A melodic bassline and orbiting guitar sound the farewell: Keep it Spiritual. The band watch as the planet gradually fades from view. Emotional, sentimental, had they really witnessed all the wonders of that foreign yet familiar land? Was it all it seemed? Better click the replay button...
