so, that thirlwell disc is a collaboration with a swedish guitarist and...
it sounds extremely similar to a king crimson record, as i take it is the style that the guitarist operates in. there are clear bits of thirlwell scattered in between in the instrumentation, but it's fairly muted and it's really unusually organic for a thirlwell release.
it's not going to take me a week to work this out.
but, file under crimson. really.
