There's too much to dream of,
It's a full metal racket
We're sound asleep to shortcomings, meaning nothing.
Fed on information, starved of an outlet.
Soon, forever means another ending.
Stop to think, try to remember the mirror, practice, poise
Locked away all night, raising Bees in November
Catch the cold, surrender your warmth to a vortex
Suck the phantom oxygen it's inside you
Seek to stutter slowly, you are the breath of an angel
Quell the fire, it extinguishes your elation.
Stop to think, try to remember the mirror, practice, poise
Locked away all night, raising Bees in November
Stop to think, try to remember the mirror practice poison member
Stop to think, try to remember the way we all felt in December
Stop to think, try to remember Bees in November

Chris is a treasure trove of delicious rhythms and mind altering lyrics. This album is so different from his others and I NEEDED it so badly! aggiepigeon1

I fucking ADORE this new modular synthesizer based IAMX experience. Stick some tracks on a compilation with Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and the like and you'll really appreciate CC's diverse and wide-ranging talents. It's just EXCELLENT 💙 Gaz

The UK is particularly blessed with talent in electronica, and Sneaker Pimps are right up there with Portishead, The Aloof & Massive Attack in dark urban disenchantment. 2nd LP Splinters is still my favourite with founding member Chris Corner singing throughout, but this new collection of songs is wonderfully different & Simonne Jones’ singing is dreamy & sensual. Fighter is my top song, the lyrics full of vulnerable strength. Mid LP is especially strong, with Tranquility Trap, SOS, and Stripes. Master of Alchemy
The Manchester band's latest is the kind of ear candy that’s sweet and satisfying but never cloying, the product of Madchester exuberance, endurance, and tact. Bandcamp Album of the Day Oct 11, 2021
