Downes Braide Association: Is Trauma Their Finest Album Yet?

<p>Geoff Downes and Chris Braide join me, Phil Aston, on the Now Spinning Magazine podcast to explore Trauma, the latest album from Downes Braide Association — and already my favourite of their six albums.We talk about memory, loss, identity and moving forward, and how those themes became songs filled with powerful lyrics and beautiful melodies.Geoff and Chris share the stories behind Marc Almond’s appearance on “Juliet”, Emmi’s vocals on “Love and Loss”, the inclusion of David Longdon’s previously recorded flute performances, and Dave Bainbridge’s remarkable guitar playing on “I Wish I’d Known”.We also explore the extended “Lake of Memories”, Delilah Barrett’s moving narration of words written by Andy Partridge, Roger Dean’s artwork, and the additional poetry in the CD booklet.Trauma is available on CD and double vinyl through Cherry Red.🎵 JOIN OUR MUSIC COMMUNITYLove physical music and friendly, knowledgeable music conversation?
