They are back...but with only two members.
"The Original Spirogyra was founded in Lancashire Bolton 1968 by Martin Cockerham and Mark Francis. Later Martin went to University in Canterbury and expanded the band to the line up, including Barbara Gaskin. The band went on to record 5 albums and are very highly rated in the progressive pop / psychedelic folk genre. The original founders Martin and Mark have reunited in London and recorded this new album Children's Earth as a 40 year anniversary release. The new album - Children's Earth was completed on October 3rd, 2008 in London. It represents salvation for lovers of 60's - 70's progressive folk-pop-rock music! Spirogyra - the English psychedelic folk band are becoming increasingly famous over the years! This is on account of the ahead of its time unique and enduring quality of their music which continues to spread around the globe and amaze all who have not yet heard it.

| Is this a different album to the one announced here http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52528 - http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=52528 which also seems to be a 40th anniversary album? |

It must be the same, 'cos the two share a few things: 40th anniversary, available at soundsorange, no Gaskin there...just the title has changed. So, sorry for doubleing the thread! ------------- yeah |
