I haven't seen this mentioned here. Maybe someone who's possibly
interested might get this in time and perhaps come along? Conceivably?
Here is Mark Williams' blurb.

BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

What does Phillipe Gimet think? We put his review of
the Idle Suite album 'Up two Sticks Rd' through a
handy online French-English translator to see!


The Idle Continuation
Up two stick road (visible Last dog records)

Here a New Zealand production well attaching which the
label visible Last clearer proposes to us dog records.
A first signature for The Idle Suite which proposes
six wonders of rock'n'roll-impro which do not leave
anything randomly. With a casting particularly turned
towards the collective, the combo of Wellington
proposes an open music which délicieusement
transgresses the dogmatism of holding of the
improvisation. Composed of Greg Cairns (battery),
James Kirk (battery), David Hall (low), Mark Williams
(guitar), Kristen Wineera (keyboards), Johannes Contag
(keyboards and samples) and decorated few guests
sorted on the shutter (Bevan Smith, Andrew Wright,
Sferic Experiment, MarineVille, The Stumps, Dress,
Sandoz Lab Technicians, King Loser, Cloudboy and Bad
Statistics), they do not hesitate to develop
trajectories melody or worse still, they dare to be
fixed on only one note! Led by its two beaters, The
Idle Suite develops an art “to make music” which
sounds as a work iconoclast which will have taken its
time (three years all the same and not without
galères) to lead to Up two stick road. A chronicle of
welcome was more than of circumstance, per hour or the
group thinks of flying away to play except borders
and, hope for it, soon in Europe!
