I preordered from their site but found out from this thread that it was on bandcamp so I'm on my first time through listening in ALAC.
Spectacular! Digging the judicious use of mellotrons
This is my favorite female fronted prog band

I received my copy and have listened to the first 5 tracks before having to go to work. Each TK I've liked a little better than their previous and this one is no exception, I think. Of the first five, 'Hypatia' and 'Germander Speedwell' are especially fantastic I think, the latter reminds me one of our tunes done better But every song so far is great, I'm just sorry I have to wait until later tonight to listen to the last two.

That sounds about right. I got the Water Road, then Shibboleth, but wasn't too fond of the pre-Amy stuff I heard so I never picked up the first two.Water Road is one of the finest modern symphonic prog albums I've ever heard, and Shibboleth is a couple of notches below it (Jonsson really took them to the next level). Now I just gotta scare up some money in the budget to pick this one up. I'm glad to see it's at bandcamp. I like being able to buy it, download the 320kb mp3 (to upload to Amazon's cloud player) and the get the vorbis version to put on my mobile deviceEach TK I've liked a little better than their previous and this one is no exception, I think

Now that I've been able to hear the whole album, I'll add 'Of Sparks and Spires' to my other two favorites. Really love the flute section in the middle. A very satisfying cd, and probably fairly equal to my top 3 or 4 of 2012.
Nice disc!

Just ordered from Ken Golden, this is one of the more underrated bands out there, and I love the vocals (reminds me a bit of Annie Haslam)...!
