Trembling Blue Stars bow out with a double CD on Elefant. The eleven songs that make up "Fast Trains and Telegraph Wires" and the seven on the second disc (EP) "Cicely Tonight Volume One" are simply some of the best pieces of work by Bobby Wratten and co. Marvels like "Cold Colours" and "All Our Tomorrows" find Trembling Blue Stars more intense, organic and spirited than ever before, while songs like "Frosting", "Half-Light" and "The Dark World of The Broken" give us the subtler, melancholic side of the band.
"Fast Trains and Telegraphs Wires" includes the work of Jonathan Akerman, Beth Arzy and Keris Howard again. Cath Carroll (of Miaow) contributes vocals on "The Imperfection of Memory". And, the album closes with "The Hidden Quarter", a beautiful composition dedicated to the film and video director, Derek Jarman . "Cicely Tonight Volume One" offers the more experimental side of Wratten.
