AMAZING PEAK

The two opening tracks are easily the best songs of the disc, and also of the band's history. Afterglow completes the trilogy of the "Paintisings" (Landscape, Seascape and Afterglow); this one and Dolor Dulcis are tipical Blondel's song, from the vein of Fantasia Lindum. Spring Air are a fine Christmas-esque track. Cantus Firmus to Counterpoint is the low point of the album, with repetitive medieval-esque voice passages... And, as Evensong and FL, the album ends with a nice instrumental piece.

No prog here, just brittish folk; as The Chieftains is just an irish folk band, Amazing Blondel is a kind of answer to the Chieftains. Maybe later, with Mulgrave Street, the band incorpores some prog touch; but on the first albums, only folky music. If you like folk music, this is a must-have in your catalog.

Try it!
