ON THE SHORE

Comparing it to first album,"On the shore" is much more mature album and one of the best I have heard so far in this sub-genre.Instrumentation,especially on trad.songs,is absolutely amazing and Celia's voice is more forceful and cleaner.Extended guitar solos don't seem aimless anymore and the whole thing is just pure delight to listen.I'm no expert for prog-folk,or folk music in general,but this album is just so different from any other album in this genre,no comparison can be found with other bands of the era.With exclusion of some of Jethro Tull albums,this is,IMHO,crowning achievment of British prog folk,a masterpiece every prog afficionado should have in their collection.
