I'd also suggest going straight for Landings. Strangely, i'd thought this conversation had already happened but I can't see it.
It might be worth searching for one of the compilations of all his tracks.

Landings thirded. Wolf Notes is another good one.
We've definitely done this before but I don't think there's a different Skelton thread. It's not on the Boomkat Classical thread?

While we're at it, how does Border Ballads compare to his previous work?
― pomenitul, Saturday, 6 July 2019 13:45 (four years ago) link
I think it's one of the ones I listen to the least (but I might be confusing it with verse of birds).

It just came out this year.

Then I don't think I've heard it?

I am just generally confused these days.
I think that "The Shape Leaves," also under the Broken Consort moniker, is much better than "A Box of Birch," but yes, start with "Landings."

You and me both!

I spent some time listening to various Skelton albums earlier this year and as such the new one didn't make a huge impression on me. It was good but didn't separate itself from the pack for me.

New Skelbo sounding great.

I've yet to comb through his entire discography, but it sounds less pastoral than prior releases? There's more to his work than stylistic stillness, it seems.

I've not read anything about the project but it seems less tied to place, which is his usual obsession. And the sound bed seems more, synthetic?

Good points both. It's what I'm hearing as well – perhaps the 19th century 'scientific' theme called for a more audibly technological soundscape.

Anyone keeping up? Just noticed I've missed a version of his new album that included a bonus album.

I think A Great Body might have been the last one I got so I'm probably only 5 or 6 behind.

I liked These Charms May Be Sung Over a Wound

I've liked a lot of the stuff he's released over the course of the past few months, TALUS is probably his most cheery drone yet, and I really like SUTR as well.
