Spirogyra

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

Likely to be their most consistent album, Spirogyra's debut from 1971, has proved its timeless quality. The male, Dylanesque vocals might be something for an acquired taste, however you might allow it some time to flourish. Barbara Gaskin's voice on the other hand is top of the bill and about the finest of its kind. A very diverse album of staggering beauty and intense, heart-felt musicianship. The viola sounds particularly sinister; the acoustic guitar exceptionally driven. The VCS-3 synth(!) is used very cleverly by Tony Cox. At times the music reflects an atmosphere akin to the Comus "First Utterance" album, not as dark & utterly strange, though. An important progressive/folk disc that deserves to stand in the spotlight.
