about

The first of the 21st century trilogy of albums by the Heat Poets. Recorded in 2002 at Chris Torrance's remote Welsh mountain retreat, Brazil and Malta. “Written episodically over the past 35 years, Chris Torrance's exploration of myth and landscape in prose and
verse is a buried treasure. The Magic Door is the overall title of an ongoing long sequence in prose and verse
by Chris Torrance, a Scottish born, London-reared, resident of Wales, and is a work very much in the
tradition of Ezra Pound, David Jones, Charles Olson, and the Beats.
This is one of those very interesting works that have been quite systematically written out of the official view
of contemporary British poetry. If Torrance was American, he would be a cult figure. But he's British and
almost totally neglected". Billy Mills, The Guardian 2008

“Poetry is a pulsing, vibrant thing to Chris
Torrance – he walks the walk - and moves in multiple contexts: the beats yes, open field, but also the
tradition of radical sublime from the bards through Blake to urban deejay vigour." Graham Hartill

“Working together since 1985, Torrance and Vine have developed a startlingly contemporary form of poetrywith-
music. No broody basses or folky acoustics here; these are versatile, muscular and lyrical soundscapes
which, while sidestepping obvious definitions, are influenced by rock, rap, free improvisation and European
art music". Planet: The Welsh Internationalist
