Limited three disc (two CDs + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) pressing of this 2015 release. Now We Have Light is the third Sanguine Hum album, following on from the acclaimed albums Diving Bell and the Weight of the World. Now We Have Light is a concept album. Unusually with this record, it is also something that the band have been working on for over a decade, and it's roots go right back to the days of Antique Seeking Nuns, which was the earliest project that guitarist Joff Winks and keyboard player Matt Baber collaborated on. During this time they hatched a truly bizarre conceptual story to hang even more music around - a work that perhaps was too ambitious for them at the time, and one which took the formation of Sanguine Hum to make it a feasible challenge to complete. Somewhat like a twisted mix of Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage and the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Now We Have Light is a future parable set in an entirely possible scenario, in which entirely impossible events start occurring.
