Tyger and Other Tales
Tyger and Other Tales, Music, Various Artists
(From the Label)
It was a time not that long ago . . . before the information super-highway and the CD-ROM . . . a time when words were not merely "content," but rather still had intrinsic meaning and worth. It was a time of romance and poetry, beauty and inspiration, myth and legend . . . when human emotion was more heartfelt, life and love themselves somehow more authentic. But England's green and pleasant clime also concealed violence lurking barely beneath the surface. It was a time of fear and chaos, of wonder and frailty, when life itself was lived closer to the edge. Poets created an imaginary world that glistens even now with crystalline clarity. What did they know that we don't? Was their truth any more valid than ours? All of this is captured in "Tyger and Other Tales" -- English Romantic Poetry set to music. The album is a sonic landscape . . . "art rock" (if there still is such a thing) at its most articulate. Three years in production (albeit at a rather desultory pace), it presents a thickly textured tapestry of sound that situates the listener on a panoramic hillside as the dynamic unfolds . . . English Romantic Poetry as it never before has been presented.
