Excellent work

Far better pacing and diversity of voice than other (less formal) documentaries on this band. The "songwriting on camera" element is particularly interesting. Despite the 10, I wish there were more focus on the trio that Patridge feels rise above his body of work...Chalkhills, Wrapped in Grey, River of Orchids.

Sadly, it is hard to find due to IPR games. Please make it available to purchase!
