LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

digipak CD"

Turn on, tune up and drop into the wonderful world of Dulcimer, one of the most delightful progressive folk rock groups ever to pluck strings. This unusual British outfit had its roots in the late Sixties folk scene but soon evolved into a more challenging outfit."

Formed by dulcimer player Peter Hodge and guitarist Dave Eaves and supported by bassist Jem North, they play a variety of other instruments, creating a haunting mix of sounds and melodies. This debut album was produced by Troggs and Kinks’ manager Larry Page. The music ranges from folk inspired original compositions to lengthier, more ambitious arrangements, and critics have long raved over its fantasy lyrics and melodic themes."

As part of the movement that produced such groups as Renaissance and Amazing Blondel, Dulcimer are fondly remembered and revered by a new generation of progressive rock aficionados. A rare recording now on CD, eagerly awaited by collectors"
