Martyn Bates – Dance Of Hours

Martyn Bates, who is doing his living in Nuneaton, England, has now been recording and releasing his own unique brand of music for more than two decades. As founding member of Eyeless In Gaza (other member Peter Becker), Martyn has released numerous critically acclaimed albums as part of this always unique, always exploring and experimenting, and always highly influential duo. He has also put out a handful of stunningly beautiful solo albums including LETTERS WRITTEN I & II. According to Martyn Bates himself, DANCE OF HOURS was conceived to be a third volume of LETTERS WRITTEN: “It’ a work that’s firmly in that kind of mould/that kind of strand of what I do. Essentially song-based, as opposed to mammoth MURDER BALLADS type pieces for instance. Perhaps it is more a personal work than some of my recent releases.”
