The album was developed out of an interest in the former Roman Roads that lay just a short walk from his front door in East London - roads of communication and conquest that stretch from the old City of London and out across parts of Britain, Europe and beyond. Although Brooks spent considerable time researching Roman Roads - with each of the compositions responding to the psychogeography of an individual road - this isn't just an historical project, or an attempt to look only into the past. There is an obvious fascination with Roman Roads as man made structures, with their bold lines carving through the landscape, creating an album that's a reflection on the broader ideas of travel, momentum and progress.
