Belbury Poly - The Belbury Tales
Belbury Poly spin some tall tales across a concept album in the tradition of British prog rock. Along the way it takes in medievalism, the supernatural, childhood, the re-invention of the past, initiation and pilgrimage(both spiritual and physical). The Belbury sound is here augmented by guest musicians Jim Musgrave on drums and Christopher Budd on Bass & Electric Guitar.
Reviews
What the press have said about Belbury Poly:
...some of the most delightful electronica to arise in Britain since Aphex Twin, the Black Dog and Global Communication.
Bethan Cole,
The Sunday Times
...electronica rarely comes as intriguing and atmospheric and laden with weirdly unshakable tunes.
Alexis Petridis,
The Guardian
...Belbury Poly summons a genuinely spectral presence.
Simon Reynolds,
Frieze Magazine
...music that’s both highly atmospheric and melodically rewarding.
Joseph Stannard,
The Wire
...a turning point for modern electronica: inventiveness pushing right up against the boundaries, made accessible through a door left ajar to memories.
Jason Draper,
Record Collector
...an innocent Anglo Saxon eccentricity, channelled through a panoply of vintage analogue equipment. The result as ever is mesmerising.
Stuart Aitken,
Flux Magazine
