not hugely impressed
Folk/rock by numbers ?  Cheers Nigel If that's Folk-Rock, then I don't like Folk-Rock. And I really thought I did.  |

I like it - and it bodes well for the live version!

Don't like it.  Nice fiddle, percussion and guitars though. |

It lacks UMPH! Well at least it did on the radio. However this is common on CD's that are not mixed specifically for airplay.
The track will sound completely different on a Hi-Fi.
If you want to impress on the radio, the track needs to be remastered with that in mind. Never mind the sensitivities of the musicians, whack on a load of compression and make it boom out.

Yeah, David Hughes has loads of UMPH but I'm not sure whether radio can cope with it. His is a hi-fi delight.
GABBOOOM!
It's like Colin says. You hear it on the radio they make it sound like gaboom.

Kindly remove that Gibbon from this topic. No Gibbons or other distractions please, Mr. Freeman. Back to Fairport's opener played via the disgustingly inferior and tinny Play Again facility. Yes, carry on please. Peel Edit: Put your specs on Peel! |

He has also had quite a few plays on Radio 2, mostly Bob Harris. Which is why we did the 'single' CD from 'This Other Eden', with added BOOM! Still tracks often sound disappointing on the radio, because their dynamic range is lost. This is getting sort of off-topic. |

Not really that keen - hope the album improves as it goes on.
Makes me doubly glad I'm not bothering with the Winter Tour this year. Will catch it at Cropredy I'm sure!

Umm....not exactly a grabber, is it? Still, I hope whoever was building that shed in the background gets it finished before the release date.

Then again, Over The Next Hill was a pretty dull track by FC's standards, and the women of the house love it. Maybe FC have just moved from being a "manly" band to a "ladylike" band. Commercially canny, but women don't have beards (not the ones I know anyway), and beards equal beer consumption, and beer consumption equals good venue profits... I'm sure there was a point to my post Um Keef, you're right about the laydeez loving OTNH, but you're wrong about the beardless ones and beer. Most of the laydeez I know drink just as much - and sometimes a bit more - than the beardies. And sometime the laydeez are needed to act as chauffeurettes to get the bearded ones to and from the venue. So there!  |

"Keep on turning..."
I like it
As said before, it sounds a bit flat, but surely will have more impact on a hi-fi.
The tune is more complex than you`d give it on first hearing. Might be a bit daring to have this as an opener on an album, but than again, isn`t this one of the reason that FC is different and dear to us ?

Shades of 'J Tull' in some of the chords changes in "Keep On Turning The Wheel" - or have I read too many of these posts?

Boy, it sure does - heard it this morning (thanks, Martin!) through a proper hi-fi & it really rocks in many places.....recommended. |

Always a pleasure Chris.
Rocking along here to Hawkwoods Army as I write, it's booming out, with Norm giving it both barrels.
Awaiting your review and pics of last nights show, what's the hold up ?

Just listened to the track. Interesting. I think it'll grow, but it does, at first listen, seem to be a bit of a collage.
Still can't wait for the 12th though.

I think it sounds nice and cheerful, even on the tinny playback facility, and I can do with much cheeriness as possible in February. Can't wait to hear it live/on the CD.
