I can't not pick First Utterance, but knowing that atleast 80% will probably do the same kind of saddens me, as St. Radigunds is just as much my favorite progressive folk album (along with Hangman's Beautiful Daughter). -------------

I'm with you on this one :). Also some love for Mice and Rats in the Loft? Have you ever heard Dando Shaft? |

^Yes lots of love for Mice and Rats in the Loft but those three are still my top three in the out there folk-department. I only have Dando Shaft's selftitled second album and its a real stunner, but much more conventional 70's folk (not meant in a negative way). I have a feeling I need their debut though.

I found myself having the seem feeling, also have the second album. Any folkrock albums (I also love bands like Fairport, Steeleye, Trees) you could recommend? |

So we're looking into the debut albums of Comus and Spirogyra. I have not heard First Utterence, but I simply adore the 3 Spirogyra albums. Not fair to vote, however, I have to express my joy for St. Radigunds, .........Old Boot Wine being very good, and Bells, Boots & Shambles being even better. First Utterence I have yet to hear and evaluate....... (and enjoy..........) |

There are some nice tracks on Utterance but I have always had some problems with several other tracks on it...(to me it's one of those 'overrated' albums )

| First Utterance is incredible! I'm not familiar with that Spirojyra yet so no vote. |

I haven't heard this particular Spirogyra yet, so no vote until then But I'm pretty sure I know how it will turn out  ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |

Wowh thanks! I already own Pearls Before Swine and Linda Perhacs, will look for the others (if they can be found on vinyl). BTW, have you ever heard the 'Arthur - Dreams and Images' album? One of my favorite gems. |

| These are two of my very favourite albums in Prog Folk, but I'm especially drip dripping with love for the Comus. It's a bloody masterpiece. |

Comus, First Utterance.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

First Utterance is a highly original album; there is nothing like it. Yet I find about half of the album rather disgusting, so my vote goes to St. Radigunds. -------------

| I've not been able to acquire First Utterence yet (as a vinyl.......I am a snob of sorts.........) - anyway, a frad off-topic, but how does this Comus album measure up to Jan Dukes' 'Mice And Rats In The Loft' - an album I dearly enjoy.......??? |

I've seen two reprints of First Utterance the last five years, but it can be hard to come by indeed. Have you tried looking on Discogs? Mice And Rats is one of the best progressive folk albums! I've also been lucky to find a high quality reprint :). I do think Comus and Spyrogira are more songbased acts, whilst Jan Dukes has longer compositions and multi-instrumental musicanship as a main feature. |

I actually found my First Utterance reprint at my local record store for $20 in the unsorted bin. That is certainly an unexpected thing to see while flipping through random records!  But yeah, discogs is probably your best bet------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ramza1316" rel="nofollow - www.last.fm/user/ramza1316 https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/user/1211221845 |
