Under guises A BROKEN CONSORT, CAROUSELL and HEIDIKA, RICHARD SKELTON has become a celebrated new artist of the UK underground. "Marking Time" is Skelton"s first release under his own name and outside of his own label, Sustain Release. "Marking Time" represents a new beginning for Richard and finds him at his most direct and intimate, slowly turning on relatively bare textures of bowed strings, piano and guitar. A meditation on loss and the passing of time, its measure of transcendence accumulates in instrumental passages that work like gestures drifting towards a sense of space both rich and real. Limited edition deluxe packaging featuring unique, award-winning design.
