To be honest, "Prog" folk has never been my favourite genre (along with "prog" metal should I say). And I can't be laudatory about the music featured on this "England" album.

OK, there is some good fluting ("Landscape") but overall the music that can be experienced is rather thin and never essential. This album displays some medieval stuff, decent vocal harmonies as well as average arrangements. Is this enough to make it a thrilling adventure? Of course not! Only a bunch of old England folk stuff. No big deal IMHHO.

The whole album is a challenging trip to a revolved time. When rock didn't exist. I don't like this album (but I have never been a fan from this band). This is not prog folk. Just folk. From the early seventies.

The best track out there is the instrumental "Sinfonia For Guitar And Strings". Some sort of romanticism can be felt; and the sweet acoustic guitar is quite crafted. So: one good song out of eight. How does this score?

No fantasy: just an accumulation of boring tunes. I'm still wondering why I grant this one with two stars. The poor "Cantus?" is rather representative of the "press next" type of song. Gosh!!!
