Steeleye Span were perhaps the closest musical relatives to the celebrated Fairport Convention in the British folk-rock canon. They worked a similar mix of traditional English folk music and late-'60s/early-'70s rock sensibilities, but leaned more toward the former. Every member of the group was a wildly talented musician in his/her own right. Maddy Prior, later half of the Silly Sisters with June Tabor attacks ancient-sounding tunes like "Prince Charlie Stuart" with just the right combination of earthy abandon and British formality. Martin Carthy, one of England's finest folk guitarists, makes his instrument snap and ring, whether attacking it mercilessly on "Boys of Bedlam" or caressing it delicately on "Lovely on the Water."
Multi-instrumentalist Peter Knight's fiddle showcase on the jig medley "Bryan O'Lynn/The Hag with the Money" is one of the hottest moments on the album. Throughout the album, the choral vocal work featuring all five members of the band is striking. Like the album itself, the vocal blend seems timeless, never anachronistic, even when modeled after centuries-old musical traditions.
Digitally remastered by Robert Vosgien (C.M.S. Digital, California).
Steeleye Span: Martin Carthy (vocals, guitar, banjo, organ, bells); Tim Hart (vocals, guitar, dulcimer, bells); Peter Knight (vocals, fiddle, mandolin, organ, bass, bells); Ashley Hutchings (vocals, bass, bells); Maddy Prior (vocals, spoons, tabor, tambourine, bells).
The Wire (p.40) - "[The songs] are clothed in silken finery, with tart, modal close harmonies meshing exhilaratingly with the layers of skirling mandolin, electric guitar chimes and skittering violin."

Selfe has managed to concoct a unique hybrid of traditional sounds with modern technology, giving 'Glaciers' a contemporary feel. Selfe, producer Peter Elman and a myriad of seasoned musicians craft a unique album." - Pat Nugent, New Age Voice Born in the Deep South, Ned Selfe grew up in an atmosphere filled with art & music. His eccentric mother was an avid art collector and played classical music for hours on end.

I still have fun with it.....check it out" Favourites: Kondome, Meter, 3 in a row, plane, blue light, arpeggio, train check"Marco Minnemann started playing organ at the age of 6, then switched to drums and guitar at the same time at the age of 11. Marco's fame as one of the extraordinarily talented drummers and composers, reached him at the age of 19 all the way to Munich. The first 'cross-over' band "Freaky Fukin' Weirdoz" offered him a position as drummer in 1992, in connection with a major deal with BMG-Ariola. The "Weirdoz" were the originators of so-called 'cross-over' music which today, various bands unjustifiably claim as their own. Also the "Weirdoz" had a gig with Nina Hagen on the album "Mao Mak Maa" where a fantastic cover version of Ian ...
