In the madrigal-strewn world of neo folk-psychedelia, the queen of drones holds court_In this late teen decade, as green men are burnt, resources dwindle and naturalists plunder for authentic Englishness, the hunt for the grail-like Silver Globe continues.

Back in 2014, the story was first whispered; A mythical jaunt set to a motorik rhythm, played out in an overgrown forest of ideas: Jane Weaver's `The Silver Globe' was a conceptual delicacy - "a synth-ridden post-apocalyptic prog-pop opus based on tightly embroidered, non-linear recurring themes inspired by esoteric stories, cosmic imagery and re-filtered past experiences".

Since those heady beginnings, our heroine has time travelled to darker times and been celebrated for her glorious `Modern Kosmology' (top album of 2017, here, there, everywhere).

"An album that melds cult cornerstones into a lean and thrillingly addictive slice of unearthly pop" trumpeted The Guardian..

Featuring tracks co-produced by David Holmes, guest appearances by Australian vintage space-rockers Cybotron, a recycled chunk of a Hawkwind track, an intricate Damon Gough guitar solo, some Suzanne Ciani waves and post production, plus remix flourishes by Andy Votel, `The Silver Globe' is a shiny beautifully polished gem.

Now reissued with the existing artwork updated by Andy Votel, so that this creative milestone can again be heard whatever your new age/old wave preference.

It is "a full-scale leap into the cosmic void of contemporary space rock" according to Quietus.

"As a child of the 1970's I can thank my friends' brothers for their space rock record collections and concept album sleeves that I would spend hours looking at, then my first love for Kate Bush followed by a heavy dose of disco and synth pop.

I guess `The Silver Globe' is just a subconscious inspired imprint of those things that have never left me, married with an accidental viewing of a vintage Polish sci-fi film that was so bizarre I couldn't stop thinking about it and so it became my muse..." Jane Weaver.
