AS GOOD AS IT GETS (CD) – Ebbatson Baird

£10.00

Introducing the new CD release from Ebbatson Baird: ‘As Good As It Gets’

Their first work since 2016’s ‘Doors’ this album takes some of their favourite tracks over their 20+ year collaboration, along with 2 new tracks and gives them a reworking, incorporating orchestral arrangements, where strings replace guitars and with brass instead of synthesisers. Moody, atmospheric sounds are the name of the game. New instrumental versions of Fiesta and Coming Home reveal previously hidden guitar lines that were recorded but never used on the final releases and epics like Ninochka are given the pomp and ceremonythey deserve!

The CD sleeve is a result of a journey along the East Coast of Lincolnshire taken for potential video opportunities several years ago. Although that project has not come to fruition yet the images remained and seemed apt once the album title was decided.

Presented in a digipack the CD is now available from our shop!
