pieces specially sourced from the archive at Cecil Sharp House, to be precise -
interpreted by singer Stephanie Hladowski and multi-instrumentalist C Joynes.
Whether you're a fully switched-on folk beard or a relatively inexperienced
adventurer in Electric Eden, this is a fascinating journey through the
landscape, magick and jerry-built mythology of our fair island - try listening
to a tune like 'Lord Bateman', driven by Joynes' by turns courtly, ornate and
droning, raga-like guitar, and tell us it doesn't speak to something ancient in
you and the world around you. 'Flash Company' is a stunning acapella that
highlights Hladowski's pristine, characterful vocal talent, but the guitar
treatments - at once jazzy, bluesy, medievalist, Arabesque, betraying the
influence of John Renbourn, Davey Graham and Bert Jansch - cast every bit as
strong a spell, perhaps even stronger. A superb and timeless record, one that
we can see ourselves listening to again and again, recommended to fans not only
of the aforementioned but also Current 93, Pentangle, Shirley Collins, Fairport
Convention and Andrew King.'
