This for me is currently the best album I have ever heard. I think that Ms Ashby was far far ahead of her time with this one and it is a great inspiration to me at the present time.
Every track moves into a new phase of what I believe to be a very beautifully and skillfully crafted piece of work.
But, does anybody know who the rhythm section are?? I'd love to know, they're solid throughout and not mentioned in the liner notes, a tragedy! If you know please shout out
'The Moving Finger' is the track that beat heads hunted down for many years, heavy percussion, heavy drums, heavy strings and a spooky poem. Note the number of references to alcohol in the track titles, rumour has it that it was her love of the grape and maybe even grass that lead to her early death.
