Alastair Galbraith adds some violin ache and backwards guitar to these already fragile tunes from Australian beat hippy hermit Pip Proud. The late '90s saw a brief return to music for Proud, who had been living in a hut without electricity out in the middle of who knows where Australia, after a 25-30 year hiatus. That "comeback" however was cut short by a stroke that left Pip blind and/or dumb (or both maybe) and unable to perform. The music is itself fittingly beat down and tragic.
