SPIRITS BURNING & BRIDGET WISHART Earth Born Voiceprint (2008)
This is where folk, prog and space rock all come together. Bridget Wishart was the only female singer for Hawkwind, and was part of the crew from 1989 - 1991.
Various musicians include Daevid Allen and Alan Davey, and the sound immediately reminds you of Karnataka and Mostly Autumn with a space rock edge. To a much lesser extent, Blackmore's Night. Even the Kate Bush / Peter Gabriel coupling comes to mind.
This is an interesting and very different angle, a touch of MOR in places, it's not the most startling album I've heard. There are some great songs here, and a very atmospheric feeling. Like clouds at a Summer's day picnic, with love and laughter in the air, you can feel the drifting.
