Topic: Mostly Autumn Posted: April 12 2004 at 09:39 |
Hiya to all ! I just recently joined and this is my first post (aww)('') . I'm a 16 yr old girl in love with prog and i especially hold this band Mostly Autumn close to my heart.I have seen this band three times and wow they rock!!! .I am looking forward to chatting and participating. Also i cant stress enough that if anyone has not heard of Mostly Autumn plz plz plz try them. thnx. Mostly Autumn deserve more attention than they get. Their musicianship is outstanding. I would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to this band with amazing female singers ..Heather Findlay: Lead vocals, Acoustic guitar, Bodhran, Tambourines, Penny and Low whistles and Recorders...Bryan Josh: Founder member - Lead electric guitars, acoustic 6 + 12 strings, e bow, vocals...Iain Jennings: Keyboards,Synthesisers, Hammond Organ and vocals...Liam Davison: Electric guitars, 6 + 12 string acoustic guitars and vocals...Angela Goldthorpe: Flute, Low & High whistles, recorders and vocals...Andrew Jennings: Drums...Andy Smith: Bass..now thats the band.Mostly Autumn's music can be described as powerful atmospheric rock with a Celtic edge, influenced by Pink Floyd, Deep Purple and Genesis, and reminiscent of 70's Fleetwood Mac and Fairport Convention.Mostly Autumn's sound incorporates the uses of flute, low and penny whistles, violins and vocal harmonies - over all they are powerful band, existing of keyboards, two guitarists, bass and drums. its very very difficult to say which album or songs are best.I have seen this band quite a few times in the past year and had the chance to meet them. They need as much support as they can get ..please try this band. this band need to be heard they deserve a following i'm not being overtly personal about this band seldom has a new band impressed so much i almost grieve that they may vanish unheard which would be really bad.listen to some new music Mostly Autumn are awsome,they need your support to take the next step this band deserve to be heard all over the world.
If you would like to know where to start if you are interested best start with Catch The Spirit - the complete anthology first , then if you like what you hear you can work your way from For All We Shared their first album up to present date..hope you enjoy! heres a list of what they have done:
heres their catalogue: For All We Shared ('98) Spirit of Autumn Past ('99) The Last Bright Light ('01) Passengers ('03) theres also anthology discs which you could should really try first to introduce you to them , they would be : The Story So Far ('01) Catch The Spirit complete anthology ('02) always a pleasure to help anything else just ask

Welcome aboard Jenna. Nice to see that prog can appeal to girls of your age ! [BTW you should have posted this topic in the "featured CD" page]. Concerning Mostly Autumn, I am not very aware of their music (shame on me ) but I will see if I can get some of their stuff, then I'll tell you what I think of it.

I have two MA songs on a Cyclops sampler, but every time I try to order a CD, It's either "no longer available" or "Out of stock." I'm trying though. The two tunes I have; "Pieces of Love" and "The Night Sky" are terrific. The guitarist has a serious Gilmour thing going. The woman singer, Heather, has a beautiful voice.

I think you are but the second!
Welcome to the forum Shrinking Violet - the home of intelligent debate, thoughtful introspection, and quiet contemplation of this fine musical genre which is progressive rock....
Oh yes, and fart gags!

Welcome! The only other female here is Olivia, from France. Her nickname is Tauhd Zaļa. About Mostly Autumn: I haven't heard their music yet, but I'll check it out soon! Have fun!

Welcome to the forum. I'm afraid Joren is right: there are not many female members here. It's the eternal discussion about why on earth there are so few girls who like prog. I know fans of every other music genre, but prog... And it's strange, since prog has in it almost every other genre...
Good nick, by the way. 'Shrinking Violet' is one of my favourite Mostly Autumn songs, along with 'The Spirit of Autumn Pass' and most of the instrumentals. Nowadays, I'm continously listening to Pass the Clock, specially part 2. I love the strength of this section and the lyrics: 'And they torn out the world with their fingertips in the wind'.

I will be going to see Mostly Autumn in London and Wolverhampton during the next month.
BTW....before the London Gig, they always have a drink or three in The Royal George pub, just around the corner to The Astoria. They are quite happy chatting to their fans there.

Possible to say that MA are even better live than in studio. I know theres other females into prog ..they just dont come out to play often ..lol.., regardless of age i certainly know my music and all about it..been to loads of gigs. As Peter Gabriel says..''I know what I like and i like what I know..''

Jenna:
In my recently appointed capacity as an administrator of the site, let me offer an "official" welcome. As noted by some of our other illustrious members, we are extremely pleased to have a second "woman's voice" on the site: and if you have any like-minded friends, by all means cajole them into visiting and/or joining! Despite the "testosterone-laced" presence of so many male proggers, I get the sense that few, if any, of us bite (though some of us may nibble...)
Feel free to add your voice, opinions, comments, suggestions, complaints, gripes, and "two cents" on any of the many interesting threads here.
Finally, although lucas is correct that your post should probably have been made on the "featured CD" site, I'm going to let this thread stay here, both because you did not know, and because I think it is a better place from which to introduce yourself.
Again, welcome!
