Well I haven't seen anything newer than This Timeless Turning around, but that
came out in 94 ish, so its hardly new.
If I had to choose between TTT & RttIE, I'd have to plum for the former. I
reckon the songs a just a little bit stronger, while it seems they were
finding their feet on Return... The lengthy '4.00am' I find tends to drag a
bit, but the tracks in the middle - 'These Old Bones' segued with 'Stretched'
and 'Scapegoat', 'Sister Ship 23' moving into 'Deep Sunless Sea' are
*excellent*.

You may want to pick up the 'Every Iceberg is Afire' EP as a taster if you're
not sure.
