Since this thread was revived I have gone back to Away. I thought it was brilliant when I first got it but went off it quite quickly. Now, listening again with slightly older ears, I have reverted to my initial opinion. Something about it places it alongside Veedon Fleece for me although, obviously, with an Americana rather than Irish folk feel. Maybe it's the meandering nature of the songs that feel almost like trains of thought put to music. I suspect that, much like Veedon Fleece, Away will grow in stature over the years.
