ALBUM REVIEW
Simply wonderful - gentle, lilting melodies (thankfully not over sweet); beautiful vocals/harmonies; faultless arrangements, playing and polished production; terrific (but subtle) use of woodwind (including oboe and cor anglais) in key places. It's hard to describe what I'm thinking of here, but nothing (on the album or even within a single song or track) is ever overdone or underdone - it has a superb balance. It's a tragedy they originally made only one album in the 70's, but what an album they gave us. It's different to standard, traditional folk, more articulate and clever, more polished, more varied (and all with a stamp of quality.) It's definitely not "rock" or as "rocky" or progressive as some others. Although they do use electric instruments at times, the overall feel is of a more gentle, acoustic album. If you like Magna Carta, I'd put them in the same genre (though different.) (arpeggiosociety - Rate Your Music)
