Sweet Billy Pilgrim — Motorcade Amnesiacs (double vinyl)
–•¬ Mistrovské dílo. Muzikanství si zaslouží zvláštní zmínku. Multiinstrumentace, zvláštní svět, kde se mísí jemné akustická hudba, jazz a electronica, aniž by to znělo úplně jako jeden žánr. Funguje to. Tato verze bude příjemná pro větší spektrum fans, než jen pro obdivovatele Kurta Vonneguta, kteří cítí povinnost poslouchat na základě názvu kapely (navzdory skutečnosti, že toto je opravdu úžasný název kapely). Nejlepší písně: “Make It So”, “Burn Before Reading” + “Just Above Midtown”. Sweet Billy Pilgrim are an English experimental rock/art rock band, composed of bassist/banjo player Anthony Bishop, guitarist and singer Jana Carpenter, singer, guitarist and songwriter Tim Elsenburg, and drummer/percussionist Alistair Hamer.
