I bought the CD at the CD tent yesterday and have just listened to it for the first time. What a fantastic album!!! I was expecting to enjoy it. I was expecting it to be a good album. But I wasn't expecting it to be as good as this. It really is a GREAT album by any objective standard. A true classic and one that I will keep bringing out to play for many many years to come.  THANK YOU |

Absolutely stunning album, especially "Harpsong", I've hardly stopped playing it. Only one complaint Jude, I had to buy a stronger set of reading glasses to read the lyrics and credits, and I'm still struggling! Bring back vinyl I say  |

Bring back vinyl I say I tried really hard to make the credits and lyrics bigger, but I was really constrained by the illustrations and borders on the pages. And too many words! Apologies! I will put the lyrics and credits up on my website or myspace somehow.. Vinyl will be available in September!!! |

I'm feeling very guilty because I bought the CD over the weekend and have not had time to listen to it yet (though that is true of a number of albums). However, I have put it on my Ipod and am off to the gym shortly. Is it suitable for a bit of cross training or should I listen to it in a more relaxed state?

Harpsong might be suitable for a 20-min workout: starts slow, builds up to a stirring wig-out in the middle, and ends with a soothing cool-down. However, you might want to put on your Something Nasty in The Woodshed instead |

However, you might want to put on your Something Nasty in The Woodshed instead I gave it a go. Actually it was all quite a good pace for me today as I was a bit tired so it stopped me from pushing myself too hard. It is a lovely album Jude. I particularly like Grey October Day. This is probably a stupid question but is your singing consciously influenced by Joni Mitchell? I just hear little echoes of her phrasing in there, which is delightful. |

My singing is not consciously influenced by anyone as far as I know, GG, I was singing this way before I ever heard Joni sing. Nor Julie Andrews either  Glad it didn't wear you out!! |

Yes I knew it was a stupid question and had I thought about the recorded chronology of your early careers I would never have asked it.  Perhaps Joni is influenced by you! |

Bought mine from HMV Cambridge yesterday, and it was in the folk chart! Should have taken a pic, but didn't have a camera. |

[/quote] I'm concerned that my earlier post about listening to the album at the gym might have sounded a little flippant. That wasn't my intention. Sadly the only places I really get chance to listen to music in my everyday life these days are at the gym or in the car. I do a lot less travelling for work than I used to so I have lost that opportunity to listen. I don't really enjoy working out all that much so it is a lot better if I can lose myself in some music to distract myself from the pain and boredom. It does not need to be fast and frantic to work. The only things I have had to give up on at the gym are early Genesis & Leonard Cohen! But I have first encountered and grown to love lots of new music on the exercise bike. It is so much the better if it enables me to forget where I am. I was listening so intently to the lyrics on Talking With Strangers today that it certainly did that. I might actually have some time at home this weekend, a rare opportunity to actually sit and relax in the company of a few CDs and this will be top of the pile. |
