3.5 stars, really.

Well, there is something about a band who dresses in medieval clothing and sings about pixies that appeals to me! I managed to discover the band as I was sharing a bill with them at the Mosely Folk Festival in 2006. Youtube also helped my appreciation as well.

The album is of the length of the average vinyl album of the 1970s which doesn't cause me any problem whatsoever. First and foremost, the cover is fantastic and the music contained within is a fantastic slice of Acid Folk/ Prog Folk. I wonder whether Comus are an influence? Their music is lighter by all means, but the overall sound of the album is very pastoral and a couple of songs could have easily gone on the soundtrack to 'the Wicker Man.'

My favourite tracks are Miri It Is, My Body Is Made Of Sunlight and Power To The Pixies.

I recommend this album to Wicker Man enthusiasts, Morris Dancers, Real Ale lovers and Folk Progsters everywhere.
