Another excellent example of delicate progressive folkrock from five young British folks who share a kindred spirit with UK groups like Presence, Aslan and Sanctus. Gentle captivating mostly acoustic sound with fragile male/female harmonies, flute, soft enchanting organ, electric bass and magical acoustic leads. Top-notch original songwriting with titles like ‘Weep For The City’, ‘Let Me Come In’, ‘On The Road’, ‘How Could I Hate’, ‘Blow On Me’, ‘Joe’ and ‘Murmurings’, moods ranging from lively strummed folk to Parchment-like folkrock to charming melancholy ballads. Also covers of ‘Very Last Day’ and ‘Day Is Done’. For a custom lp in this genre this is outstanding, with virtually no competition in sight from any bands on Dovetail, Myrrh or any other UK Christian label. Comes with a large folded lyric insert. 500 made. (Ken Scott - Archivist)

Delicate progressive folk rock it isn't: delicate gospel folk it is. Not a sniff of prog folk about it, and not rocky in any way either, though the drums liven it up a bit. By the way, I knew Mick and Marilyn Tungay quite well, and Greg and Deb Leavers slightly, at the time of issue. The Tungays were in their 30's, for sure, while the Leavers were probably early 20's. I'm amazed that this album fetches so much on eBay (sometimes more than £100) while other Christian folk on private labels go for a fiver or so. Any ideas why? Wish i'd got a copy at the time, but I was 15, and into rock and blues. Neil Leathers ( neill091@virginmedia.com)
