Firmly in the folk tradition, both lyrically instrumentally and melodically, this is a pleasure to listen to, with traditional instruments supplemented by some real surprises (gamelan?), a strong tune and a superb lead and harmony vocal. I just love the cymbal swells, and have every intention of stealing the idea. The instrumental interlude is a bit of a surprise, since it sounds a little like a long lost fragment of a work by Debussy. At the beginning, I liked it as a simple folk-derived song. Half way through, we are taken into a whole new world of musical delight. Truly original, truly wonderful.
