This album probably has some of the best Janus tracks on it, but is not really "immediate". From 1993 to present day, pieces from this album crop up as background music on TV stations throughout Europe, which given the volume of library music that is available, are quite a compliment to the atmosphere generated on this album. The majority of the tracks were instrumental, and half the CD was given over to a tale penned by Orr, for which the music was meant to be the story.

"Journey" sold hardly at all, but the people who liked it, REALLY liked it. It looked like Orr had blown it by trying to be too original. The music industry hates original.

Mike Batt composed the score for "Keep The Aspidistra Flying", American title "A Merry War", from the book by George Orwell. The song "Tiger In The Night" was written by Batt for the end titles, and sung by Colin Blunstone. It is a very classically based score, with a suite in the first three tracks. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was conducted by Mike Batt.

Fuck The Writer
http://www.fuckthewriter.com/

For all you lovers, writers, happy and unhappy, lonely, free and trying, crawling, kissing and wandering....

Fuck the Writer is a Rotterdam (the Netherlands) based 25 year old singer/songwriter who writes and performs his material by himself. The first album “Maar Ik Dans Niet” (“But I Won’t Dance”) was recorded on a multitracker using a cheap condensator mic, a melodica, 12 string guitar, nylon strings, acoustic bass, wine bottles, a toy piano and a moon guitar . The warm, intimate sound reflects the mood of the winter in which the album was recorded. The second album "Keeping the Aspidistra Flying" (inspired by Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying") was released nationwide and got excellent reviews from press and peers. The third album "Dear Holland", this time recorded in a studio with a band, is soon to be released.

BGO Records.  320 Kbps CD rip.

Noosha was relegated to backing vocals for half the songs on the late 1975 follow-up album, Tails of Illusion, with the other songs sung by Young. The album enjoyed neither the critical nor the sales success of its predecessor; without Noosha's distinctive voice, casual listeners did not associate the songs with the band that had recorded "Only You Can". Although it was sabled down by the critics in 1975 it's a nice album nevertheless.

The band returned to the charts in April 1976 when "S-S-S-Single Bed" was a Top 5 UK hit and topped the Australian chart. This track is added as a bonustrack.
