Backed by the storming rhythm section of Nick Beggs on bass and Craig Blundell on drums, the album also sees guest appearances from Peter Cox (Go West), Nik Kershaw, Steve Hogarth (Marillion), Heather Findlay, Kim Seviour (Touchstone), Jem Godfrey (Frost*) as well as narration provided by British actor Lee Ingleby (Master & Commander, Harry Potter).
"Please Come Home" is very proggy, but it’s more about atmosphere than technical expertise, inspired by his love of science fiction and interest in the evolution of the human race.

God vs Man
Lonely Robot Lyrics
At first you build a fire
raise it to the sky
you have the edge on everyone
who dares to wonderwhy
and one by one they worship you
and bow at your command
then you seem to better
your position and your stand
so then you build a city
you flatten all you seeand all of those who follow you
are blinded by the dream
and from the highest tower
you applaud what you′ve become
but greed and progress tumble you
and push ambition on
on and on
we build machines
in kindness
but one day soon
the architect
will find us
god versus man
then you build an army
of your blinded devotees
aembling vast wooden ships
you crossed the widest sea
and other lands you set upon
are guided by your rage
and any slight resistances
are writen off the page
so then you build a rocket
and you point towards the sky
no end to the ambition
and no cause to question why
you start to search celestial
to find the one who made
for reckoning the architect
will stand across your way
on and on
we build machines
in kindness
but one day soon
the architect
will find us
god versus man
raise it to the sky
you have the edge on everyone
who dares to wonderwhy
and one by one they worship you
and bow at your command
then you seem to better
your position and your stand
so then you build a city
you flatten all you seeand all of those who follow you
are blinded by the dream
and from the highest tower
you applaud what you′ve become
but greed and progress tumble you
and push ambition on
on and on
we build machines
in kindness
but one day soon
the architect
will find us
god versus man
then you build an army
of your blinded devotees
aembling vast wooden ships
you crossed the widest sea
and other lands you set upon
are guided by your rage
and any slight resistances
are writen off the page
so then you build a rocket
and you point towards the sky
no end to the ambition
you start to search celestial
to find the one who made
for reckoning the architect
will stand across your way
on and on
we build machines
in kindness
but one day soon
the architect
will find us
god versus man

@kiwi9147
This album is superb!!!
I instantly loved PCH ..it sounds related to Dimensionaut
Simon Collins sounds like a blend of Phil/ Peter Gabriel mixed ..
This sounds like Peter Gabriel/Ray Wilson blend .. either way ..all roads lead back to Genesis
I get a strong Genesis- Calling all stations vibe too ,I wish Ray Wilson had been given more of a chance
I love that album and his vocals
Steven Wilsons cover of FloralGreen is responsible for my discovery of Lonely Robot
Love Craig Blundell’s drumming on these albums ..I can see why Steven Wilson and Steve Hackett wanted him to tour with them😎

@2minstral
Excellent song. I've added "God vs Man" to the best of 2015 Rock & Alt playlist and to the main progressive rock playlist embedded on the World United Music website.

Mitchell can almost do no wrong. Love the intensity of his playing, well produced, sounds great, bring it!
