Welsh musician Richard Thomas went back to his Across The Pond EP and decided that this release by his Mint Biscuit project could be improved. He changed the running order and added six more tracks. If anything the flow of the instrumentals is now more balanced by including the subtle The Barnstaple Table And The Fremulous Fable, the Neil Young-esque Mouse Trouble and the wordless love song Bodmin Chick.
The EP was more of a work-in-progress and by going back to the drawing board he was able to finish the picture. His homemade excursions are offering a glimpse into his inner world, where emotional turmoil, love for his wife and a passion for playing his six-strings are having neverending discussions.
