Those who thought this was the last great sonic document from the band will be pleased to know it's not and that we have some exciting news on what's to come from HC-B in 2015 (soon!). So what better time to reflect on one of the centerpieces of <em>Soundcheck for a Missing Movie</em>, 'Hot Afternoon in The Bull's Square'. Now I had planned to wax lyrical about this song as it excites me every time I listen to it, but then I stumbled on a quote from the awesome US college radio station <a title="WRUV" href="http://wruv.org/" target="_blank">WRUV</a> that summed up everything I wanted to say,

<em>“Quality Instrumental Post-Rock with a fierce emotion that will blast your face off for its entirety… The songs blend together to form a tsunami of shredding guitars, loud violins, free horns, booming basses and hammering drums… One of the greatest of its genre.”</em> <strong>– WRUV</strong>

Now listen and hear why every word of that quote is spot on.
