All The King's Horses

Available from Bandcamp. Release notes taken verbatim from the site: 2001.Post 9/11 and the shock of that terrible day permeates this recording (except ,ironically, the opener which pre-dated the cataclysm by a good 6 months). Perhaps LPDs never sounded more melancholic and "Horses" rates in the top 3 of EKs favourite Dots albums, but it was sadly overlooked by a World which was also in a state of shock. The little boy on the cover is EK's son, Tristan.
