    Tapestry of Delights:

    The first LP is rock music only by association. Taking British folk as point of departure, the music twists and oozes as a vile bunch of snakes, pairing gorgeous melodies and expert playing to ecstatically altered vocals and vicious lyrics:

    'You stand before me defenceless
    your stare unchanging silent, cold, intense sears my brain
    drip drip from your saggin lip
    liquid red down your body spreads.'

    (from 'Drip Drip')

    Rape, murder, witchcraft and abuse are main ingredients to the menu, which is cooked with raging madness, but still manages to taste delicately composed. One of the very few British folk LP's that creates a totally new, dangerous and utterly unique atmosphere. Obligatory music!! By comparison, the second album cannot but disappoint. More common both in sound and content, this still is nice folk LP with some very good tracks. Studio musicians on woodwinds and 'normal' rock on bass and drums sound fine enough, but nothing superb. There also is a rare EP in existence with outtakes from the first album (Dawn 1006) with a slightly more subdued atmosphere.

    Their very rare and adventurous debut album First Utterance is now available on CD. The opening cut Diana is very strange and very appealing (to these ears), The Herald is a beautifully fragile instrumental with strings and woodwind, Drip Drip is a decidedly weird series of rantings and ramblings. The four tracks on side two essentially continue the challenging tapestry of beautiful woodwind, strings and unorthodox vocals which at times recall a folky version of early Curved Air. This dark, haunting and at times bizarre psychedelic folk rock masterpiece is recommended. ~ (Marcel Koopman / Vernon Joynson)
