I'm ruminating about Andy Giddings involvement. Just curious on which song he is present.

Drink From The Same Well

This is an epic piece of music developed from an earlier idea on which Ian had worked long and hard twenty years before. It featured on a lengthy demo made with the then Tull keyboard player Andrew Giddings and was written as a potential collaboration with pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, renowned player of the bansuri (Indian bamboo flute). Many years later, Ian developed the lyrics and new melody to provide listeners with a stellar virtuoso performance on both his concert and bamboo flutes. Some of the original flute along with Andrew's piano and accordion remain on the final master here.

It is also worth mentioning that all mixes done by Bruce Soord.

Cool, that could be interesting.

Sigh, more big boxes, but what can completists do . . . pre-ordered! "Dunsanine Hill" sounds interesting (Lord Dunsany inspired?).

Still waiting for more US retailers to list this. Most current prices are north of $55 but lasercd.com has it for $48. Still early days so will wait a bit to see if Amazon, Importcds or DeepDiscount can beat that price. After hearing the excellent Atmos title track on Apple music this is another must buy for me.

This just seems too expensive to me. Especially for music im not sure of. I seldom play anything from Zealot Gene or Rokflote. Maybe buy it used from @GOS in a few months.

All these art/ear book 2CD/1BD sets are wayyyy overpriced in my view. Steven Wilson's Overview is going for $75 - $92, Leprous' Melodies Of Atonement is ~$60 - $70, and even Riversides Live I.D. is going for ~$30 - $35. Ruminant isn't cheap, but not out of line for today's prices, unfortunately. Hopefully Importcds will beat these prices by at least a few bucks. Unless the artist/record company is willing to offer a standalone Blu-ray, I see prices on multi-disc sets going in only one direction.
