The Communion Label is pleased to present another special chapter from the ever-changing ensemble known as The Tower Recordings.

Folk Scene presents the crew (for this recording inclusive of Matt Valentine, P.G. Six, Helen Rush, Erika Elder, Tim Barnes, S. Freyer Esq., Steve Gubler, Robert Henry Jones III, Samara Lubelski, Dean Roberts, Andre Vida and Barry Weisblat) in a rarified state, a folkische mood and sound hinted at in previous recordings (especially Siltbreeze's wondrous Furniture Music)

but now developed in full blossom. Beauty and inspiration rain down like manna in these sessions, recordings both wonderfully focused and distilled, yet free.

Those of us enamored of the English pagan folk rock of decades past (both electric and acoustic) will no doubt be pleased with this enhanced collection, previously released as a limited vinyl pressing of 300 copies. An extra 14 tracks are added to this CD version, along with completely new cover art and information.

22 tracks for your aural enjoyment
