The BBT'thon reaches studio album 11. 2017 and the third album in 2 years, which IMHO is begining to show in the mix of re-worked older tracks amongst the new. Not a bad album but weak by comparison with it's predecessors.

Sad to hear that the final chapter of the Enid is about to be written as they close the Endii, stop live performance and set to release one last studio album. I for one will miss the band, although their back catalogue is rather magnificent.

A return to the BBT'thon with their 8th studio album. A stable line-up and a continued theme make this another exceptional album. #np Big Big Train - "English Electric Part Two" (from the 2019 remaster.

The BBT'thon reaches album #6 (2009) a new vocalist (David Longdon) and something of a breakthrough in commercially & critically. Big fan for a number of years, even I thought that this was a big step up. Brilliant album. #np Big Big Train - "The Underfall Yard" (2021 remaster with extra tracks)

Steve Mepham @onelivebadger.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Back to the BBT'thon with studio album #5 from 2007, once again I'm playing the remastered version (2018) #np Big Big Train - "The Difference Machine" A lot of different influences here, and a cracking album it is too.

Influenced by a chap in one of the Prog FB groups I still bother with, this is new to me and rather good. Mid 70s, US symphonic prog. #np Ethos - "Ardour"
