As much as I love trains and aeroplanes, which is not at all, there is something to be said for allowing them, for they are the places where I can slide most completely under the blanketing layers of a complicated puzzle game, and find comfort and peace. In fact, the history of my affection for the genre is best plotted against advances in conveyance. Tetris was the rickety old National Express that took my Year 7 class to the Isle of Wight; Meteos was the Eurostar from Waterloo; and Lumines was the First Great Western to Bath Spa. Historic Bath, whose skyline is that manner of picturesque that calls for no other word, or at least so I'm told - I was close to 400,000 at that stage so I wasn't about to look up.

After the 'difficult' third album, the cathartic change of direction?
