Maybe not as good as the first album - that had the organic flow from start untill end - but with Pondlife, Creek and Depart Paul Frankland has created yet again beauty and uplift. Especially Depart I consider to be among the best modern day music productions. It has the tension and alienation of the 5th symphony of Mahler, the spheres of Eno's ambient 4 and Apollo, and the fragility and desolation of Dead Can Dance's Yulunga. Magic!
While it may not have had the impact of 1194 or have been thought well of by Frankland himself, I think this is still a worthy effort and well worth the price it commands. The Pondlife -> Woobed -> Creek progression are amazing, and while Depart is great as well, it seems to drag on about 10 minutes longer than it should have - those last 10 feel like a completely disconnected piece to me.
