What a nice surprise, I have just been sent these tracks by Joe Davin who plays along side
Mark in 'The Astronauts' and '
The Otters'. Restricted Hours are Mark sparsely accompanied by long time collaborators Alan Cowley and Bob Green. This great recording sneaks up on you with beautifully threaded collection of cosmic folk ragas, haunting guitar drones and first class songs, that include reworked versions from the Restricted Hours split 7", and a few Astronauts classics. Beguiling tracks for those moments when there's nothing left to do but lie back and let the worlds worries pass over you. And then you have two tracks from 'The Otters' again brilliant stuff and on the track 'Heresy' it features Chris from
'RDF'. Here are two links for more info on the band plus tracks, click on the brilliant
'My Little Bubble' and
' Urban Aspirines'. A massive thanks again to Joe for these. As always enjoy!!

Devotional Hooligan had quite a good collection of Otters songs a while ago. They remind me a bit of side 1 of the Soon LP.
