An intentionally low-key album of windswept instrumentals inspired by Mark’s move back to his native northwest, it gave musical nods to Eno, Talk Talk, Vini Reilly and Richard Thompson, and first appeared as a limited-edition cassette before being expanded to a full vinyl and CD. By the end of the year it had also worked its way into Rough Trade’s top 10 albums of 2018 and, to celebrate, another limited edition vinyl only version called \u003ci\u003eAmbient Innerland\u003c\/i\u003e was released, an even more introspective iteration that stripped away all of the percussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new version, however, is completely different.
