I had actually never heard this band before having only
heard their name. I have to say this
album is really excellent and has a nice diversity as well as sense of humor! You
in Yellow start things off. All instruments are generally played by Sonny and
Leo and this includes acoustic guitars, keyboards, violin, etc.. This is a
beautiful track but a bit sad feeling. I
have known Love is a happier track with an interesting xylophone sounding
accompaniment. The Angelus features a deeper 2nd voice and this one
reminds me a bit of Comus. I pick up Birds at Funerals shows the band also likes
to have some fun as well. Ricochet is a great track and has a a longer
instrumental section than all the others and is inspired by a trip to Morocco,
perhaps?? This is also a new single on the Fruits de Mer label. Andria sounds
like a late 60s David Crosby song or something.. Sympathetic Love features
Garvan Gallagher on bass and is another happy song. Time is Gone is an other
very beautiful track. The album ends with the instrumental title track, The
Dark Dance. A very enjoyable album.
Perfect for a Sunday afternoon in the garden!
Their 70s albums are all must owns Scott.
