    Does anybody else like this fantastic band? I just started listening to their albums this year in depth, and I'm blown away! I love the influences of bluegrass, Medieval European, and Indian music that their songs have.
    'The Beautiful Hanged Man's Daughter' and 'The 5000 Spirits or the the Layers of the Onion' are some of the best albums I've ever heard. :)

    The two you named are awesome as well but I have the most with the album Liquid acrobat as regards the air since my parents had that LP and so I kinda grew up with it. Same with the album Unhalfbricking of Fairport Convention in my signature by the way :biggrin:

    Love them. I also really liked Wee Tam/Big Huge. The Half-Remarkable Question is one of my favorite enigmatic songs by anyone.

    5000 Spirits or The Layers of an Onion is my favorite album by then. It also has one of the coolest album arts I've ever seen.
