Book of Taliesyn has a lot of awesome material^

Nice topic. Maybe brightened my day wouldn't best describe my music listening, but I've been playing The Hare and the Moon's Wood Witch (2015).

I did not listen to much music today. Just RPWL's last album and half of Angel Witch 2019 album. That got interrupted and did not listen to anything else unfortunately. Neither brightened anything.

Yes! I really recommend it to proglistener, who is not caring much of bands Mark II albums & like organprog of the seventies! Specially their own material is very proggish & b-side is much better than a, really love Shield & Anthem, also their kind of Vanilla Fudge version of River Deep. The sounds of the album are also much more going into seventies comparing to very sixties first album. I think Mark I has never got as much respect as Mark II, but I have always loved those three first album and really hard to say which is better, Taliesyn or third album. I think only as prog album of Mark II is Fireball as Taliesyn.

Had a call back to the 80s today that took my mind off the hook a bit, lifting my spirits. Oddly enough it was an 80s album I barely know, just got it maybe a year ago and had only listened once before. It was by a guy named Martin Briley, and I knew him for a minor 1983 hit “The Salt in My Tears”. So I put it on today and it just reminded me in a good way of so many other solid pop rock albums from that time- definitely 80s, but not yet at the point where synths and loud/busy production took over. Nothing to bowl you over, just good, decent pop rock with a minimum of BS yet very commercially minded. It just kind of reminded me of buying new albums back then, in my early teens, and hearing them for the first time. Having to flip the record over to hear side 2. Just good memories.
