The track is a beautiful reworking of The Montgolfier Brothers’ 1999 song featuring Romany Gilmour on lead vocals and harp. The track was remixed by Rob Gentry, who played keyboards on both the album […]

Thank you @gidcoe.bsky.social - Lovely to be part of the "Autumn Double" - alongside the great Françoise Hardy. The two songs were "Autumn Rendezvous" & "Anna in Autumn". Track later became "Anna in Winter" from "The Echoes On Departure" #musicsky #GNAC

A great collection of early work by Wim Mertens. I have the vinyl too - but gave up looking for it. This is a CD reissue on EMI classical. #CD #instrumental

As with every @needlemythology.bsky.social release, this one does not disappoint. Beautifully put together and the quality of the music, well, that was never in doubt.

I particularly love the train ticket hype sticker design.
An album cover for "Think Once More: A Journey with The Montgolfier Brothers." It features two men standing on what appears to be train tracks, with a modern building in the background. The image has a muted color palette. An album cover hype sticker for "The Montgolfier Brothers - Between Two Points," that is designed to mimic a UK train ticket and features a description of the music and comments from notable figures, presented as a 2x LP format. The label is identified as Needle Mythology. The description and quotes read as follows: THINK ONCE MORE 2xLP A journey with THE MONTGOLFIER BROTHERS Features *BETWEEN TWO POINTS* Recently recorded by David Gilmour & Romany Gilmour “...should be available on prescription as a remedy to the mad pace of the modern world." - Tim Burgess "Sophisticated..,haunting songs to shyly, slyly, take up residency in your heart and head." - Stuart Maconie
