Download (rapidshare)Wyrd folk being a description given to a wide range of folk music encompasses many highly individual albums. Synanthesia are such a band with a sound that links soft jazzy melodies with folk music, if you can imagine Pentangle and the Modern Jazz Quartet playing Tudor jazz together it may have sounded like this. A mixture of delicate acoustic guitar, fluttering flute and shimmering vibraphone gives the music a distant, late night quality that draws it soothingly into the background.
The first track 'Minerva' has more pace and energy being a flute driven pean to some deity. 'Peck Strangely and Worried Evening' is typical of much of the album with it's sublime jazzy haze.
'Morpheus' adds saxophone to the melody and is slightly more unsettling with a slightly creepy atmosphere.
'Trafalgar Square' is more like the Incredible String Band with a restrained slightly swinging feeling.
'Fates' has a hypnotic tumbling quality with mandolin picking out a circular refrain and excursions into wilder territories as a saxophone bursts out.
'Tales of the Spider and the Fly' starts with smoky flute and moves into a raga like melody and blissed out lyrics that sound innocent yet somehow unsettling. I could see a modern wyrd folk band doing this song particularly well and bringing out the Indian music qualities with sitar, tambura and percussion. 'Vesta' is a wild eyed but enjoyable acoustic track.
'Rolling and Tumbling' is a gently jazzy folk track like 'Peck Strangely and Worried Evening' but with Incredible String Band style vocal track with oboe and saxophone.
'Mnemosyne' is a dark baroque track with oboe and saxophone encircling the music.
'Auroa' is a lovely but fairly slightly ode. In the last track we have an unappreciated classic of quite sublime quality, 'Just As The Curtain Finally Falls' is a very soft folk ballad that combines Incredible String Band 'Nightfall' type qualities with a mournful, late night melody that evokes The Sun Also Rises 'Tales of Jasmine and Suicide' or 'Jove Was At Home' by Dr Strangely Strange.
Towards the end a sustained section adds psychedelic echoes and whirling instrumentation. It draws to a close a unique album that has little comparison with others but is highly worthy of praise on it's own. It's consistent throughout and in this you will either enjoy it from the start and completely or not get it at all.
