. . . an everyday story of sororicide ...

lyrics

* there lived two sisters in one bower - and there came a young man to be their wooer - on the bonny damsides of Minorie - he courted the eldest with all his land - the courted with youngest with own right hand - on the bonny damsides of Minorie - he gave the elder a brooch and ring - but he loved the youngest above all things - on the bonny damsides of Minorie - he courted the eldest with his penknife - he loved the youngest above his life - on the bonny damsides of Minorie - ah sister, o sister you'll go to the broom - to hear the blackbird change his tune - 'n well maybe see the lads of Minorie - they walked up & they walked down - & thrice the blackbird changed his tune - but they never saw the lads of Minorie .

It's hard to imagine a more magical collaboration than the dreamlike, ominous fantasy instrumentation of Alan Trench and the silken, sweetly agonizing vocals of Martyn Bates. The most beautiful, gently haunting moods are to be found throughout this album. Lauren
