 Rating:  - BrilliantDon't worry too much about what this album IS (it's folk, Jim, but not as we know it), just buy it, listen to it and love it. My best album of '08; thrilling, beautiful, touching, haunting and it even has it's funny moments thanks to Benjamin Zephaniah. Rating:  - Where's my arran sweater?I think this is probably a great album and certainly a sterling effort to bring together a range of influences both old and new to fuse a new UK folk perspective. The first talking bit sounds like Stanley Unwin on that Small faces album though and it can get just a little bit self indulgent - Hopefully like me though it will inspire you to re look at the rich heritage of traditional music this country has to offer Rating:  - disappointedDefinitely a Curate's egg of a recording - good in parts. The first track (spoken) is excellent as are some of the more traditionally done tracks e.g John Barleycorn, and Hard Times of Old England with current day hard times is brilliant. I was looking forward to hearing a different version of Tam Lyn (one of my favourite songs) but RAP!!!! come on! an abomination. Rating: - Where the heart isDear Georgina, What a wonderful idea of Nomasters and yourself to issue 'our' Imagined Village cd. I say 'our' right away, because the homeliness, the recognition and the heart-warming tunes are sufficient to make the most hardened of man/woman melt away on (soft) impact. As you most surely know (and as much as Barry, Jim and Lester do) there is that poem of Rupert Brooke's that says that, wherever a British soldier might find his final resting-place, there is that secure spot 'that is forever England'. At the computer keyboard in the attic of our cosy home but all around in Flanders as much as anywhere and everywhere, one can feel that same - the French would say - certain je ne sais quoi, meaning the warmth of a world past ...
