A long overdue video review of the latest Big Big Train release, English Electric part 1. For more than 20 years this band is on track, creating their own kind of progressive rock. In 2009 they made a huge impression with The Underfall Yard. They extended this with the Far Skies Deep Time EP in 2010.
The bar was raised quite high here. Now they bring their 7th studio album, English Electric part 1. And this album bring sthe band to even newer heights, as it is a stunning album with beautiful and well crafted songs and extraordinary tales.
