Feelings Are Good INSIDEOUT
Through all his prog outings, John Mitchell’s always had a big, distinctive sound. His ‘Astronaut Trilogy’ - his previous three Lonely Robot records Please Come Home, The Big Dream and Under Stars - were dense, hefty works that revelled in their interstellar aesthetic. But beneath the cinematic production patina - the Blade Runner bleeps, the Alien echoes - Mitchell’s anthemic palette, trademark rock riffs and melodic hooks always remained the engine. And amid the abstract, sci-fi lyrics he dealt with human concerns, like love, memory and identity.
