Description:
Deluxe remastered reissue of 1984 album with 6 previously unreleased bonus tracks & expanded packaging! Robyn Hitchcock`s 1984 album I Often Dream of Trains expands upon the introspective leanings of 1981`s Black Snake Diamond Role while further developing his signature lyrical imagery and spare, ominous melodies on this mostly acoustic album. Here Robyn`s sharp humor (Uncorrected Personality Traits) sits comfortably alongside some of his most intimate ballads (Trams of Old London Cathedral). On Trains the spare arrangements crack the Hitchcockian world wide open allowing for a never-before-glimpsed portrait of the artist in his most artistically exposed incarnation to date.
