Finally the follow-up to Marianne Segal's 1970 Jade classic, Fly On Strangewings. This new
offering leans towards the pastoral baroque side of folk rock. However, any notion of a land too twee are soon
interrupted by the psych/blues lead guitar of Bill Steer (Firebird). Co-produced by Michael Tyack of Circulus, it's no
surprise to find ample helpings of Moog synthesizer and Tudor crumhorn. If you need a change from your endless rotation
of Fairport Convention and Jefferson Airplane CDs then try this.
