So whats wrong with FC filling up the available space. Should they have cut the number of tracks and possibly put something else on as a wee surprise/gift for their 40th celebrations perhaps.
Haven't they?..... |

Haven't they?..... Not in the way that Lazarus did no. I was asking whether they should have reduced the number of tracks and replaced them with something else. e.g. not music I think what you are getting at Chris is something they have done before so its not even a wee surprise/gift for the 40th. Nice though it is. |

Sorry Chris but "allured" isn't a word that springs to mind regarding yourself and Mike C, fine figures of men though you both undoubtedly are  Jackdaw |

"DEluded" is often used by/about board members...
after 1 full listen (in the car, so can't really comment on the hifi-ness of the CD), my first impression is positive - really like Farmboy & Ric's tunes, LOVE Best Wishes, the rest I like to various degrees; there's nowt I dislike. bit disappointed with the "hidden extra" though...
So: 7.5/10 at the moment...

I never get the "hidden extra" thing - It's not like no one has ever done it before and its bloody annoying when you have wait and listen to about 2 minutes of silence before it comes on .
I was particulary saddened by the hidden track on Chris's "Dancing Days" cd - as its one of the best tracks on the cd in my opinion. As far as Sense of Occasion "hidden extra" for me it's a bit better than the "aude lang syne" on Over the next hill but still really a total waste of chops!

AT least when you back it up to flac you can edit it into a 'real' track and eliminate the silence with Goldwave.

Just putting it through it's first listen on the work PC - decent (sennheiser) headphones but nothing like a proper stereo turned up - and I keep getting interrupted. Just got to Tam Lin - about half way through then.
Definitely agree with the comment above about the production, very very good indeed! Now, anyone want to apply these production values to the entire folk/folk-rock/rock/metal catalogue from about 1976 onwards? I might even get to like Led Zeppelin...
Haven't found a really duff track in the first half yet, although Love on a Farmboy's Wages will need a couple more listens.
Oh and Tam Lin is still about half an hour too long. (OK, I'm exaggerating, I'm female!, but it is tooooooo loooooong whoever does it). It's a great song and a great story, but I'm a product of the 3-minute-hit generation, my concentration goes. PLEASE, not on the Cropredy setlist - any other four or five songs could use the time to my greater enjoyment!! Now I'm for it!
Will be back later with more later. But so far, very good indeed.

Yes but why should we have to go to all that bother? Maybe they should make sure that the silence is exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds then they can legitimately pass it off as a John Cage "song". Then I might stop whining! |

Valid point earlier about whether the CD is too long or whether there are tracks that people just don't like so much. In the case of my review it is probably the latter I'm afraid. If there were 16 killer tracks, the length would be irrelevant of course.
Have just been listening to it at the gym. It makes for unusual workout music! But it almost made me forget how tired & out of breath I was so it must be doing something right. Perhaps there is a marketing opportunity here. The Fairport Workout! Track suggestions anyone? May as well start with Walk Awhile! Maybe on a different thread though...
