Review by Lucy Cooper<br />
THE MINACK'S dramatic setting, open to the elements, with a
jaw-dropping backdrop of sea and sky, provided the ideal launch pad for
a night of epic and ethereal sounds from Penwith-based band The
Ascension Plan and special guests.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DDf_MoqimyA/U4HkPKAXclI/AAAAAAAACkU/GOro-Oq1RGw/s1600/6114036-large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DDf_MoqimyA/U4HkPKAXclI/AAAAAAAACkU/GOro-Oq1RGw/s1600/6114036-large.jpg" /></a></div>
On Friday, May 2, hundreds gathered on the cliffs at
Porthcurno to witness the four-piece band join forces with New York
singer Mimi Goese, of 1980s cult American band Hugo Largo, and Penzance
choir the 50 Degrees.<br />
The night marked what the band call, "the completion of a
curious circle". The circle began back in the 1990s with Quietly Torn,
the band started by The Cure's Porl Thompson when he moved to Zennor.<br />
When Mimi Goese, the band's original singer, left –
homeward bound for New York – Thompson recruited St Just guitarist and
singer Martin Jackson, then 16 years old. On a May evening in 1998
Martin took to the Minack stage to play a memorable gig with Quietly
Torn.<br />
Martin went on to form The Ascension Plan with Quietly Torn
drummer Nick McLeod, bassist Mungo Shoddy and former Bates Motel man
Paul Adams on electric violin.<br />
In 2012, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, Nick McLeod
(who also plays with The Incredible String Band's Clive Palmer) and Mimi
Goese began to hatch a plan.<br />
This resulted in Mimi's collaboration with the band on a
number of tracks, including Ascending, from their All Ways EP, and
forthcoming singles Buoy and Life (You Are).<br />
Ultimately, it led back to the Minack and the wild Cornish
cliffs on a May evening in 2014, bringing Mimi and Martin together to
share the stage for the first time.<br />
The result was an evening that managed to pull off the feat of being both intimate and epic.<br />
Axolotl set the tone with an introductory soundscape that
melded with the waves and the wind. Building from womb-like gongs and
elemental murmuring, The Ascension Plan's sound swelled into celestial
flights of liquid violin melting into out of this world vocals,
transporting the listener to realms at once familiar, strange and
beguiling.<br />
With years of collective musical experience under their
belts, the band moved together effortlessly through the haunting
waltzing chorus of Old Wings, via the alternating swing and raw power of
Disengage (and Remain The Same), the ethereal Ascending and meditative
All Ways. Mimi Goese brought her extraordinary and formidable vocals
into the equation – which can also be heard on Moby's Into The Blue and
When It's Cold I'd Like To Die – bringing theatrical flair and sparkle
to the stage along with her trademark vocal acrobatics.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ougeH00VfRw/U4HkPIcdCoI/AAAAAAAACkY/F0fDuUtNjBs/s1600/6114037-large.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ougeH00VfRw/U4HkPIcdCoI/AAAAAAAACkY/F0fDuUtNjBs/s1600/6114037-large.jpg" /></a></div>
Adding the vocal harmonies of the 50 Degrees choir into the
mix, under the skilled direction of Vicky Abbott, sent beautiful,
fluid, yet precisely aligned harmonies rushing across the Cornish skies.<br />
"The sky and sea stitched seamlessly," Mimi sings on the
forthcoming single Life, (You Are). As the daylight faded, sea and sky
vanished into one another and the stage was bathed in a dance of
colours, courtesy of projections by renowned local artist Paul Lewin.<br />
Sky, sea, music and light stitched seamlessly into a
mesmerising fabric, entrancing the senses. The resulting frisson carried
echoes of Sigur Ros at the Eden Sessions.<br />
Maybe it's the tuning, the band tune their instruments to a
pitch of 432HZ – said to be the natural universal frequency – rather
than the standard concert pitch of 440HZ. Maybe it's the combined power
of more than 50 voices. Or maybe it's just that special something that
ignites when a plan comes together beautifully.<br />
Whatever the secret, this will be remembered as a night
when magic was made, when The Ascension Plan unfolded their wings and
took flight with Mimi Goese and the 50 Degrees.<br />
You can obtain the band's All Ways EP at theascensionplan1.bandcamp.com/album/all-ways-ep<br />
Nicholas Pegg – author of the acclaimed Complete David
Bowie series of books as well as a regular Dalek operator on Dr Who –
was on holiday in the area and attended the concert. He tweeted: "One of
the best gigs I've ever seen."<iframe seamless="" src="https://bandcamp.com/EmbeddedPlayer/album=3554772585/size=large/bgcol=ffffff/linkcol=0687f5/transparent=true/" style="border: 0; height: 1037px; width: 700px;"><a href="http://theascensionplan1.bandcamp.com/album/live-the-minack">LIVE @ the Minack by the Ascension plan</a></iframe>

...Recorded LIVE at the Minack Theatre, Porthcurno,on the 2nd of May 2014 this was arguably Axolotl's finest gig, on the side of a cliff overlooking the ocean, in a fading light of the setting son, a fitting backdrop to the ominous delicacy of the soundscape presented within. This performance was part of a Curious Circle, an event created by the Ascension plan starring the inimitable Mimi Goese with the angelic voices of the 50 Degrees and featuring stunning live projections by local artist Paul Lewin...<br />

THE MINACK'S dramatic setting, open to the elements, with a
jaw-dropping backdrop of sea and sky, provided the ideal launch pad for
a night of epic and ethereal sounds from Penwith-based band The
Ascension Plan and special guests.<br />

On Friday, May 2, hundreds gathered on the cliffs at
Porthcurno to witness the four-piece band join forces with New York

choir the 50 Degrees.<br />
The night marked what the band call, "the completion of a
curious circle". The circle began back in the 1990s with Quietly Torn,
the band started by The Cure's Porl Thompson when he moved to Zennor.<br />
When Mimi Goese, the band's original singer, left –
homeward bound for New York – Thompson recruited St Just guitarist and
singer Martin Jackson, then 16 years old. On a May evening in 1998
Martin took to the Minack stage to play a memorable gig with Quietly
Torn.<br />
Martin went on to form The Ascension Plan with Quietly Torn
drummer Nick McLeod, bassist Mungo Shoddy and former Bates Motel man
Paul Adams on electric violin.<br />
In 2012, on opposite sides of the Atlantic, Nick McLeod
(who also plays with The Incredible String Band's Clive Palmer) and Mimi
Goese began to hatch a plan.<br />
This resulted in Mimi's collaboration with the band on a
number of tracks, including Ascending, from their All Ways EP, and
forthcoming singles Buoy and Life (You Are).<br />
Ultimately, it led back to the Minack and the wild Cornish
cliffs on a May evening in 2014, bringing Mimi and Martin together to
share the stage for the first time.<br />
The result was an evening that managed to pull off the feat of being both intimate and epic.<br />
Axolotl set the tone with an introductory soundscape that
melded with the waves and the wind. Building from womb-like gongs and
elemental murmuring, The Ascension Plan's sound swelled into celestial
flights of liquid violin melting into out of this world vocals,
transporting the listener to realms at once familiar, strange and
beguiling.<br />
With years of collective musical experience under their
belts, the band moved together effortlessly through the haunting
waltzing chorus of Old Wings, via the alternating swing and raw power of
Disengage (and Remain The Same), the ethereal Ascending and meditative
All Ways. Mimi Goese brought her extraordinary and formidable vocals
into the equation – which can also be heard on Moby's Into The Blue and
When It's Cold I'd Like To Die – bringing theatrical flair and sparkle
to the stage along with her trademark vocal acrobatics.<br />

Adding the vocal harmonies of the 50 Degrees choir into the
mix, under the skilled direction of Vicky Abbott, sent beautiful,
fluid, yet precisely aligned harmonies rushing across the Cornish skies.<br />
"The sky and sea stitched seamlessly," Mimi sings on the
forthcoming single Life, (You Are). As the daylight faded, sea and sky
vanished into one another and the stage was bathed in a dance of
colours, courtesy of projections by renowned local artist Paul Lewin.<br />
Sky, sea, music and light stitched seamlessly into a
mesmerising fabric, entrancing the senses. The resulting frisson carried
echoes of Sigur Ros at the Eden Sessions.<br />
Maybe it's the tuning, the band tune their instruments to a
pitch of 432HZ – said to be the natural universal frequency – rather
than the standard concert pitch of 440HZ. Maybe it's the combined power
of more than 50 voices. Or maybe it's just that special something that
ignites when a plan comes together beautifully.<br />
Whatever the secret, this will be remembered as a night
when magic was made, when The Ascension Plan unfolded their wings and
took flight with Mimi Goese and the 50 Degrees.<br />

Nicholas Pegg – author of the acclaimed Complete David
Bowie series of books as well as a regular Dalek operator on Dr Who –
was on holiday in the area and attended the concert. He tweeted: "One of
the best gigs I've ever seen."</div>

...the epic and ethereal Cornish band <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheAscensionPlan" target="_blank">the Ascension plan</a> will be completing a curious circle at <a href="http://www.minack.com/index.htm" target="_blank">the Minack Theatre, Porthcurno</a> on the 2nd of May.<br />

the plan will be performing their collaborative singles "Buoy", and
"Life, You Are", borne of a connection going back to the 90's, when
singer/guitarist Martin Jackson was seconded onto this very stage to
replace the homeward (New York) bound Mimi in the band Quietly Torn, <a href="http://pearl-thompson.simdif.com/a_glimpse_of_light.html" target="_blank">Porl Thompson</a>'s
post-Cure dream pop dream ticket supergroup, which also featured
drummer Nick Mcleod. The plan's lineup is completed by Paul Adams'
electric violin and the mercurial mungo shoddy on Bass. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Providing harmonious support will be the massed voices of the <a href="http://thefiftydegrees.moonfruit.com/home/4537634641" target="_blank">50 Degrees</a> and introductory soundscapes will be performed by <a href="https://soundcloud.com/kianbits" target="_blank">Axolotl</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Show starts at 8pm and the tickets are generously priced between <a href="https://uk.patronbase.com/_Minack/Sections/Choose?prod_id=TAP&perf_id=1" target="_blank">£5 and £11.50</a>...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Head of a pin, a pin in the map of where you are and where you will be</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mountain is salty</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sea is moss green</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ferocious bloom of the racing sun falls</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To slate sky then wolf moon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Airplane trails sew a fabric of your day to my night with color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Woven tug of war</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Locked in a woven tug of war</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In you eye lives a cluster star nebula</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where I dive leagues under your skin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Molecules hair breath and muscles fused</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loose stone soft earth voice with color</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Collide Collide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are mysteries out here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Collide Collide Collide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sea and sky stitched seamlessly</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Collide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sea and sky collide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are mysteries out here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Collide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sea and sky woven in a tug of war</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Molecules hair breath and muscles fused</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Collide</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sea and sky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loose stone soft earth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Molecules hair breath and muscles fused</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The sea and sky</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life you are a delicate spec</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are a delicate spectacular</div>

Gold are the days</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Loving child is here to save me</div>

Gold as the sun</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never thought I'd be the one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I followed the stream and stone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You coloured my dreams in gold</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hold you and don't let go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And take in the sky, all night</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wandered through</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A thousand faces for a glimpse of you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How could I know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All my searching would lead me home</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I followed the stream and stone</div>
