也许是80年代最好的低调民谣作品之一吧，两个西雅图的青年，一个弹6弦吉它，一个玩12弦并拉小提琴，没有人注意他们的作品，他们就自己动手制作了这张私人唱片，半数以上都是纯器乐演奏，柔缓的吉它与哭泣着的小提琴交相辉映，映衬出一个孤独落寞的世界，就像封面那只独自觅食的小鸟。。。这是一张极其出色的HOMEMADE民谣唱片。
Little-known local album of haunting UK-style folk with 12-string and violin. One acoustic 6-string guitar, one fiddle and one 12-string guitar, that is mostly what this dou need to create the visions and spirit of this album. All the songs have a remote and somewhat desolate feel about them, but also joy and wonder, in a very (in my mind) down to earth yet spiritual set of songs. "Alathea" is prime example of a folk ballade, and one of the best songs here. "Water and time" that follows start with a 12-string solo calls to mind Robbie Basho, with free improvisation.
Here's hands down one of my favorite Seattle private press LP's. About half of the album is instrumental with Larry Conklin on guitar and Jochen Blum playing violin and 12 string guitar. Definitely brings to mind Fahey/Basho/Hecht etc. The tracks with vocals have a haunting, sparse feel to them, the loner folk tag fits the bill on this one. Excellent Seattle private press LP from 1981.
