From the Southern Website:

3 tracks 21 minutes. With much inspiration from the occult, they craft complex instrumental works full of twists and turns with the collision of victoriana and prog, incredible.

01. Manticore
02. Taus
03. Garp Gadriel
Total Running Time: 21:18 mins

Miasma & The Carousel Of Headless Horses were a must-have for the Latitudes series. An essential live band on the London underground scene, Miasma have wowed many an audience over the last year with their virtuoso performances.

With much inspiration from the occult, they craft incredibly complex instrumental works full of many twists and turns with the collision of Victoriana, prog, an abundance of intelligence and respect for musicianship. It was no surprise when Daniel told me that he was working on the Latitudes material some time before the studio date "scoring the woodwind section". In many ways this material is their most accomplished to date. All the instrumentation has progressed from their debut recording, the excellent Perils LP, and the addition of the bassoon is genius creating new layers and a whole other dimension to the Miasma vision.

Any opportunity to see this band live and to be carried away by their sheer ability should be grasped with both hands. In the meantime let this document serve as your key to their otherworldly realms.

I think it's a very good album, but it sort of seemed like "Taus" was just thrown in there as filler. Just my opinion. I enjoyed it very much, but I wish it was a little longer.
