So that’s the bleeding obvious statements out of the way now let’s get our ears around the colossal, 12 minute 15 second wonder that is ‘The Bright Ambassadors Of Morning’. This is a song with as many twists and turns as a decent Hollywood thriller, one that could tie the listener in knots just trying to get to grips with it.
So what does it sound like then? God only knows but here goes: ‘Bright Ambassadors…’ starts off like The Orb, mutates into Polyphonic Spree, has a go at being Jefferson Airplane, and tips a wink at Neu! Then this eerie, nerve jangling, guitar riff creeps up from the ether, tiptoeing its way into the subconscious, pausing briefly, before exploding into the biggest, mightiest, guitar riff you’ve ever heard in your life. Ever. It’s like it’s just exploded from some kind of sonic volcano, spurting out a rush of pure, molten, lava, of the kind, one imagines, that fuelled the very legends of rock.
Have sex to 'Bright Ambassdors...' and I reckon this precise point would be an amazing time to shoot your load (at about 8 minutes 33 seconds in case you’re wondering) - just don’t try doing it alone.
A strong contender for single of the year, no question.

NOT the cooper Temple Clause
This is really stupid, PRR are not much like The Cooper Temple Clause, true, both bands display a inclination towards experimentation, but in different ways. They are certainly not, as some people would have it, "very Cooper Temple Clause with harmonies". First there's the vocals, PRR's overlaid vocals seem pretty unique at the moment, and are nothing like Ben Gautrey. Apart from that, there's the general sound, I mean, PRR are nowhere near as electronic as the Coopers. Finally, I would put forward that the only reason this is being said it because they originate from the same place, which is a really, really, stupid way to judge a band.
