AIL-DDECHRA

A prog rock folk band singing in Welsh is not the usual fare. Unfortunate, the excellent colourful Welsh folk music tradition has been bypassed on this album and been replaced by some pretty generic 1970s pop/rock. What a shame ! This album winds it's way through some horrendous bad trying-to-be-commercial pop/rock tunes. The sound quality is pretty bad throughout.

.....Then there is a couple of sunrays in the form of the two closing tracks Y Crewr and Breuddwyd. Both of them dominated by some wonderful female vocals on the top of some progressive folk tinged melodies. Very good stuff indeed. The rest of the album is horrible. Bad sound and bad tunes...... with the exception of those two tracks. This is not a recommended album, I am afraid.
