The Ashquelon Quilt

CD (2001)
Hi-Note       The Ashquelon Quilt : The Event  (IS,2001)***'

Several groups from now are re-examining the kind of songcomposing of songs from Pink Floyd or Velvet Underground, how they would do something similar fitting in our times... This specific group recollect ideas even beyond that new perspective, with some wider curiosity, within this approach. The result is an evolving instrumentation without too much contrast, creating a wider ranged area from within this approach. Most of the singing as well as some of the  instrumentations being used reminded me of early Gorky's Zygotic Minci. Fans of theirs should certainly find alikes here, although the core of interests might be somewhat different. The female fragile voice reminds of some of the now recollected 70's UK underground folkrock groups. Especially the last track shows that this group goes beyond retrospective pop with some interesting influences, a 10 minute folk symphonic psych pop song !
