Check out a new chapter of the #buzz review and an album that, suggested by the usual @[ALFAMA], will take you straight to a timeless dimension.
COURTYARD MUSIC GROUP - JUST OUR WAY OF SAYING HELLO (1975)
Clearly a cult object, this album by the Courtyard Music Group, a psychedelic rock band from the hills of Galloway in southwestern Scotland, was originally pressed in only 100 copies. The album is titled 'Just Our Way of Saying Hello' (1975) and was re-released in 2015. Essentially an album with baroque sounds and references to the Canterbury scene, it features medieval atmospheres with the use of winds, organs, and bells that create real vignettes ('Maggi's Tune', 'Bridges', 'Goodbye', 'Pebonella'...). However, the album mainly contains what can be considered true psychedelic folk ballads such as 'Song For Claire,' the ambitious 'Jame-Gypsy Cream (The Magician),' 'The Seasons'; the bluesy 'Alki Blues,' and more experimental tracks like '2074,' 'The Bonny Labouring Boy,' and 'Ante Glock Shoppe.' It's definitely a very unique album that can only be appreciated in its singularity, with atmospheres that inevitably recall 'The Wicker Man' by Robin Hardy (1973) and the soundtrack by Paul Giovanni and Gary Carpenter, a film set in Scotland, specifically in the Hebrides islands off the western coast.
