Info:
Another one-album wonder, this time in the field of progressive-psychedelic folk rock. Carol of Harvest is an obscure band from Germany and this album reaches prices as high as 1000 $ for the original vinyl pressing (thank god it was officially reissued on cd by Second Battle).
You have to listen to the incredible, haunting vocals
of Beate Crause to believe me when I tell you they are magnieficent.
Originally the album consisted only of the first 5 tracks.
That's no surprise keeping in mind the kind of music they play,
the first track for example lasts 16 minutes.
I'm only mentioning that cause the last three tracks are live recordings
that fail to reach the original album's sound (and overall) quality.
So keeping in mind the first 5 songs (the actual album),
what we have here is dreamy, inspired music that demands it's listener total attention.
It's not an album you can listen to while doing anything else.
You have to experience it. You really need to lay down at night with the lights
out to listen to that 16 minutes of Put on your nightcap.
Maybe that sounds not really fitting to our rushing times,
but that's the whole point. Give your self a good excuse to get a little lost
on the wings of music.
ENJOY!!!
