Fruits de Mer put on their own little festival in Wales each summer and
this is a compilation of all the bands that played in 2018. It contains 4 sides of vinyl with Sendelica
getting a side of their own. Side A
starts off with a Maddy Prior track and an original by Elfin Bow with fantastic
female voice with simple mandolin accompaniment. I had never heard of I am
Voyager 1, which sounds like a guitar duo or one guy singing, playing guitar
and making some loops. Interesting track.
Stay (all the way from Spain) lay down two more rockin’ tracks starting
off with a cover of Old Man by Neil Young. This version is more keyboard lead
than the original and a bit faster as well. Rock n Roll Woman another cover
song (Crosby-Stills), is quite good and even features some fuzzed out guitar to
compliment the organ. Consterdine,
another band I am not familiar with play a track called A Spell for Leonard. It
starts with a nice bass line, strange synth-keyboard (sounds strange as it
needs some delay) and drums as this jammy starts to take form. The strange
keyboard line continues while the main keyboard takes over. Appears not to be
any guitar in this band. Strange track. Fellowship of Hallucinatory Voyagers lay
down a track called Moonlit Moorings. This is a beautiful track with bird song,
flutes, nice bass lines, and vibe. The Alain Pire Experience ends side B with a
Drifting South, the most rocking track of these first two sides and features some great guitar work.
