Misty's Big Adventure - The Family Amusement Centre

The Family Amusement Centre is Misty’s Big Adventure’s most ambitious and fully-realised project to date. Drawing on a range of musical influences so diverse (Grandmaster Gareth’s Sprawl of Sound), this album has more hooks than a fishing tackle superstore. Twelve songs to make you nostalgic for a world we haven’t built yet. Twelve songs that diagnose the symptoms of an ailing society and offer a brighter prognosis than anyone dared imagine. This is Misty’s Big Adventure more serious than you’ve ever heard them.
