[up] amazing blondel

hoi boardies,

wieder was alt aber wenn ich es nach al die jahre wiederhöre : immer noch fabelhaft

Amazing Blondel : Evensong /1970


AMG meint:
"The trio's first fully realized album, a self-consciously archaic work built around medieval balladry and madrigals, and performed on period instruments. The group doesn't sound entirely at ease working in this style, but the crisp, folklike feel, and the timbre and singing have great charm. The strongest songs are those such as "Willowood," closest to the group members' own experiences and dealing with Kent, from which they all hailed. The 1996 Edsel CD reissue contains new notes by the original group members, and is very finely remastered. — Bruce Eder"


finde 2. album aus 71 besser : Fantasia Lindum----> das hab ich leider nur auf vinyl
(und da mein Dual plattenspieler gestorben ist..... kein ripp möglich )

weiter meint AMG :"The trio became known for playing upwards of 40 instruments on stage, though without backup musicians — each song was simply planned for no more than three instruments at any one time. Although Gladwin and company were the first to admit that they were no virtuosos on their chosen instruments, their work sounded credible to modern ears, and their shows were fun despite the delicacy of the array of instruments which required as much as five hours to get into tune — and unlike most rock acts of the era, if they couldn't get them into tune, the group didn't perform."

"Kein britisches Ensemble in den Folk-verliebten frühen Siebzigern hat in seinen Songs die höfische Welt des Elisabethanischen Zeitalters so konsequent heraufbeschworen wie Amazing Blondel. Das Album England markierte 1972 den Höhepunkt im Schaffen dieses Trios. Da gibt's romantischen Folk, einen stimmigen "Cantus Firmus" und das hymnisch jubilierende Medley "The Paintings", von der Band treffend als "drei idyllische Schauplätze für Stimmen, Flöte, Gitarren und Orchester" charakterisiert." (Soundplay)

hoi boardies,

erst vorige woche bekommen

amazing blondel: A Foreign Field That Is Forever England. Live Abroad

HTD Records-1996

aufnahmen aus 1972-3

AMG meint (und ich kann nur zustimmen):

"Not only a beautiful record, but an amazing find some 24 years after the fact — a live Amazing Blondel album, 71 minutes of concert recordings made in Europe by the group during 1972 and 1973. (...)The sound is remarkably clean and the stereo separation gives a good sense of the intimacy of the performances"

anspieltipp: fantasia lindum (20 minuten) = sehr beruhigend

tracks auch bei boardie stalker aka schwarzdrossel (slsk)
